More specifically, the filmmakers pin the rap on neonicotinoid pesticides, said the paper. These compounds, many of them made by Bayer, are used widely in Britain and the U.S., although they have been banned in France.
In theory, neonicotinoids should not affect honey bees, said The Independent. But George Langworthy and Maryam Henein, who made the film, believe that even a low-level dose may be taking a toll.

If there are the problems about people medications, I cannot imagine what secrets there are about plant and outdoor sprays and products.

Just today when I arrived home I saw a honeybee on a rose bloom, and another on the sidewalk. They were both very slow. I spray nothing and haven't for years, but they are dying. It is such a shame.

Bayer keeps pumping out all these nasty toxins. I am beginning to hate that company. It produces Sevin which is notorious for killing entire hives of bees, and it produces imidacloprid which is also toxic to bees (but at least it doesn't destroy the entire hive like Sevin). I boycott anything produced by Bayer Crop Science. Their name to me spells Bayer the Killer Science.

Yeah, if I were a person who did use synthetic fungicides I would never! buy their Bayer Disease Control--I would hope rose growers would boycott them until they remove that evil Sevin. But sadly even many rose forumers support the use of Sevin, so if I mention any anti-Sevin, it creates a whole bunch of ruckus. I tried arguing with my local nursery too that they should discontinue Sevin, all to no avail. I think as organics people no matter how difficult the battle we need to say something, to at least let people be aware of the bad toxins.

There are also viruses that can also weaken bees; but the point is if there weren't so many nasty toxins floating around, the bees would have much more of a fighting chance and be able to survive....

I think that Bayer has stuff that you pour into the ground. When we had woolley aphids this past month -- again, the advice from the Master Gardener was to pour the stuff in the ground all around the tree. It would get into the leaves, and keep the woolley aphids from landing on the tree. They said that was the only way to get rid of them.

They aren't that smart!!!! You should have seen that crane pull up the trunk of the tree as the guy sawed it off. There is no tree now.

I don't think most people consider themselves involved in matters of bees or any other issues.

I have written too much. Must go

I'm not detracting from the problems caused by pesticides, but let's not forget the reality of their natural lives, too. It would be normal for you to see more dead and dieing honeybees at this time of year.

A different and current test result went like this :

A field of tomatoes grown 100 % organically held no added nutritional benefits when compared to a second field of conventionally grown tomatoes of many types
I am sure you see more than I do when reading that, but here are just a couple thoughts

They never did mention what field yielded more tomatoes or boasting sizes ect.... but most importantly was Yep the soil they left behind from a conventional method and there failure to announce what the results of that field was

A seperate and independent study is still being conducted regarding the effects on bees and cell phone usage the bayer company is happy about because they see it as a diversion on pesticides

Arent you happy they took that personality test prior to an inteview I ponder what they answered when asked have you ever lied

I am not even going to get into there Bayer all in one for plants

Fun Fact:During the Roman period, roses were grown extensively in the Middle East. They were used as confetti at celebrations
