bees

In this week’s segment of The Neonicotinoid View, host June Stoyer and Colorado beekeeper, Tom Theobald talk to Dr. Robert S. Schick from Duke University who was the lead researcher on a review of what is referred to as the Pilling’s study which was conducted by Syngenta. The research consisted of a four-year field study which investigated the long-term effects of repeated exposure of honey bee colonies to flowering crops that were treated with thiamethoxam. We’re going to take a closer look at this study according to what the data is proposing to tell us.
