According to the Health Canada report, the date and location of bee losses, between April and June 2012, have coincided with corn planting in the major producing areas in the provinces. Neonicotinoid insecticide residue has been detected in about 70% of dead bees and in 80% of Ontario apiaries where dead bee samples have been collected and analyzed.
Do you think, in this case, that there is a direct correlation between the bee losses and the insecticide used?
