Nobody said it is. I have pointed out that Bayer ( you know, the manufacturer of the product you currently are defending ! ) itself reformulated its product in Europe to be more "bee-friendly". That fact is on its UK website. The EPA agrees with its European equivalent, and only disagrees on the risk management aspect because of regulatory requirements. Certain - soon to be all, I hope - HD suppliers are removing the chemical group from their insecticides.

Despite the aforegoing actions, certain individuals have issues in NOT buying the product until THEY are 100% satisified. Enough said !!!

I never "touted" that at all. I touted that EVEN the manufacturer of the product has made a change . If you followed the thread from the beginning you would know that I go "organic" whenever and wherever possible. You believe the manufacturer when it makes the original product - still for sale in the USA - but all of a sudden have a problem in believing them when they change the product ? Huh ?
