RE: Honey bees still threatened.

I find this paragraph interesting...

"The Grain Farmers of Ontario says the rules amount to a "near ban" on the pesticide and an "attack" on modern agriculture practices. The group says bee death figures are exaggerated."

A few years ago when these concerns first surfaced, KGO's Ron Owens had a Bee Keeper on as a guest. The guy was pretty wound up about finding his Bee colonies half full of dead Bees and the lack of interest he was seeing from everyone he told about it.

The segment wasn't going very well with few calling in until a farmer called to say "in the Midwest there are corn fields that cover many hundreds of acres, and every ear of corn that came from those fields involved a Bee."

The Bee guy became irate and said "that's the point I've been trying to get across" and "all they talk about on the news is god dammed Britney Spears!"
