Its surprising that there isn't more concern about these pesticides. The EPA has dragged its feet on this to the point that there is a lawsuit seeking release of their data. While California recently discovered that these pesticides are much more persistent in the soil than originally believed. Governments shouldnt be pressured to make public health decisions based on the profit motives of private coporations. Much more funding needs to be put in place to resolve the issue of Colony Collapse Disorder. That Beekeepers dont have the political clout to get this done speaks to systemic problems in our political system. Bravo on your article.
