New British research finds that 97% of the neonicotinoids brought back to honeybee hives in pollen could come from wildflowers ? not oilseed rape.

Jim,
That is one of the most definitive articles against neonicontoids that I have seen.

It sounds to me mankind shouldn't open up Pandora's Box until we  are ready to take all the consequences. It sounds like it is too late for this chemical. no I'm not saying they should use it anymore.

Something one of my Elementary School teachers told me a long time ago.

Be very careful what you ask for. Because once you get it. You may not want it.

Even if we stopped using it today, it will take years before it breaks down.

It would have been better had the article given a link to the research it is referring to.

Later:
Seems the research findings were originally submitted in Sept of last year - can't source the original paper, but here's more dope on it, and an abstract:
