It will be very interesting to see how much impact there is on bee health.

I wonder what the 'fall back' pesticides will be. 

I guess the rest of us will be receiving their production of these three neonics now.

Also it will be interesting to see how much residual remains after the cessation of use.

I hope it works it would be the only way they could be banned in the US. If it works and we are resorting to ordering bees from Europe lol. Although if we fixed the bee problem then no one would get rich selling bees lol.
