Comments on: Neonicotinoids, Bees and Colony Collapse https://rectofossal.com/neonicotinoids-bees/ Fighting Stupidity with Science Tue, 07 Jan 2020 10:43:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.4 By: Lee https://rectofossal.com/neonicotinoids-bees/#comment-2086 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 06:44:18 +0000 http://www.rectofossal.com/?p=1260#comment-2086 here’s a different tack on the whole nicotinoids argument: neonicotinoids are designed to basically destroy the nervous systems of insects. neonicotinoids can’t distinguish pest insects from helpful insects like bees. the most reasonable assumption is that the same concentration of neonicotinoids that kills/disrupts pest insects probably has a similar effect on similar size/weight bees as well.
