These neurotoxins and beneficial insects like honeybees can never coexist. Best practices cannot address the contaminated water puddles, contaminated pollen gathered by the bees and blowing around in the wind, poison nectar and guttation fluid. These products are accumulating in the soil year after year and are causing environmental damage, they need to go away!

I think there is much more to this issue then the chemicals.The mites are a growing problem.Do these beekeepers realise I got my corn seed last week and my bean seed is coming soon treated with Cruiser. What do the companies do with this seed if it were banned

It's really odd how the more professional beekeepers have little trouble and the wannabes have lots.... kinda reinforces why the beekeeper I deal with calls the whole phenomenon "Bad Beekeepers Disease"

I have not seen tons of honey bees around for the last 20 years or more. Now I see Bumble Bees doing the pollination of the trees , are they being kill also or are they not effected buy the chemicals or the mites.
