[QUOTE="Against_the_grain, post: 8105463, member: 95"] The reason it was banned was due to vastly over hyped and mis-interpreted media reporting only one side of the evidence. In the attached article it states that only 3.5% of the results showed a negative outcome for the bees. Perhaps (although a very small percentage) this would be enough to bring about a ban causing many growers to walk away from a very profitable crop and indeed change the dynamics of our nations ability to be self sufficient in oilseeds. However 2.7% of results actually showed a [B]positive[/B] outcome for bees. It could just as easily be argued that banning neo-nics is actually detrimental to bee outcomes especially when you consider how many acres of this crop are now not available for the bees to pollinate. Effectively 96% of the results showed no detrimental effect on the outcomes of the bees, yet here we are.
