      So the EU is on the side of bees??

      Can someone explain why, its only since the Brussels bunch banned most of the insecticides we have been using for years, that we now find the bees are dieing.

      I'm tending to think most modern ones are based on how safe they might appear to be to humans, regardless to wild life.
      I'm not even sure the new ones Brussels has left us with are really that effective anyway, but they are expensive.
