Very, very long and detailed study and while I found parts of it interesting, it would have been more so if it were condensed. Regardless, thank you for sharing it. I have witnessed the steady decline of honeybees pollinating flowers and crops and it scares me what may be the end result.

Nothing to see here... Let's carry on people. This has been known and/or suspected for some time now. It would be very hard to get this country to change the way it uses chemicals on plants.

Thanks for the link to the article. Now if we could just get the FDA to define what honey even is....
