Neonicotinoids

March 27, 2013


Last week 4 beekeepers sued the EPA for the agency’s lack of action against insecticides that are linked to CCD. From the increasing twitter on social media about neonicotinoids and bee loss, it seems this lawsuit has been a long time in the making. Interestingly, around the same time these insecticides started gaining attention, Bayer came out with a program to support bee health. Bayer produces the neonicotinoids which currently coat a majority of all corn seed planted in the U.S. Personally, I think it will be quite interesting to see what happens in this lawsuit.
