From our friends at SafeLawns.org, checkout their post on Harvard University scientists calling for the international ban of synthetic pesticides responsible for colony collapse of bees.
According tot the study's author, we've got to act now:
“The data, both ours and others, right now merits a global ban,” said Chensheng Li, lead scientist in the Harvard University study that confirmed neonicotinoid pesticides as a primary cause of CCD. “Our study clearly demonstrated that imidacloprid is responsible for causing CCD, and the survival of the control hives that we set up side-by-side to the pesticide-treated hives augments this conclusion.”
