"Neonicotinoid pesticides are a huge risk – so ban is welcome, says EEA"
"The European Commission has decided to ban three neonicotinoid insecticides. These chemicals can harm honeybees, according to a large body of scientific evidence, so the European Environment Agency (EEA) commends the precautionary decision to ban them."

Damn. Without honeybees, agriculture is toast.
I’d hate to be the guy who had to draw all those chalk outlines.
“The Plight of the Honeybee”
“Billions of dollars—and a way of life—ride on saving pollinators.”
“Bees are back in the news this spring, if not back in fields pollinating this summer’s crops. The European Union (EU) has announced that it will ban, for two years, the use of neonicotinoids, the much-maligned pesticide group often fingered in honeybee declines. The U.S. hasn’t followed suit, though this year a group of beekeepers and environmental and consumer groups sued the EPA for not doing enough to protect bees from the pesticide onslaught.”

Here is a better more informative article with specific information:

I really suggest dropping myscienceacademy.org as an information source. Their article is propagandistic with several factual distortions. Sad that they are misinforming children on science.
Do not eat the Canadian corn.
