I am a hobbyist beekeeper and I agree with you. These companies pay big bucks to have someone produce tests with the results skewed the way they want.
Also there is something else to take into consideration....... companies can show that their individual chemical products do not harm bees, but then we can find that a mixture of two or more of these products makes an entirely different chemical that is harmful.
Something is killing bees and it isn't cell phone towers!!!
It’s a slick article, setting up the pro-nicotinoid points without mentioning it till much later, and then an unabashed defence of the stuff.
Suffice to say there is, elsewhere, TONS of studies, articles, papers, youtubes, whole movies.... Pointing straight at neonicotinoids killing bees.
