[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 3349768, member: 305"] it is not a case of taking the ball home its if farmers lose money on a crop they stop growing it bees realy thrive when there is an abundance of nector no beans and osr then no nector then no bees which comes first without proper pest control either chemical or resistances the crop cannot make money what ever the subsidy gm is not allowed so resistance will take decades to develop that leaves chemical which is not allowed the only farming solution is not to grow the crop ' in the 1980s csfb in rape was a big problem around here so the area of rape fell until neonics came about I foresee that rape area will fall until we have a solution rape has become a crop that is harder to grow on heavy land without building up unsolvable pest and weed problems there are solutions if regulation allowed them to be used the claimed disorientation of bees by neonics is not a problem identified in the field with my local bee farmer he does not suffer from a loss of bees unless a hive swarms because of too many bees he spends a lot of time trying to prevent swarming and has tried to breed bees that do not swarm the biggest loss of hives is from not feeding them early enough in the autumn the biggest loss of bumble bee colonies is badgers digging out the colonies does any one study the problem no why no money for research and the answer does not suit the researchers [/QUOTE]
