In my opinion, I don't think that the neonicotinoid insecticides are a major cause of problems with bee health. Again, out west in Alberta, as Mr. Nixon has alluded to, practically 100% of canola is treated with these chemicals, and beekeepers intentionally put their hives in those fields.
In other situations, in corn-growing states along the corn belt, there are bees as well. There doesn't seem to be any correlation between whether or not there's a corn field present and the survival of those bees. That work has been looked at.
Personally, I think the situation in Ontario is a very political and an emotional one, but I'm not convinced that it will have any effect on honeybee health.
