the effects on bee keeping and hives from my use of a systemic insecticide in MY HOME or GREENHOUSE is not an issue....I have no honeybees in my home, and darn few in the greenhouse, mostly bumble bees get in, and we can do without those near the log cabin as they burrow in the logs...bad bad bad....I do think that broad use of those systemics in agriculture is not common or should NOT be common on our foodstuffs....I think there are laws against use of systemics on FOOD! most commercial beekeepers move their hives to certain areas to achieve the quality of honey they produce....to the blueberry fields or the forests....I think, as a race worldwide, we need to assess the need and use of ALL chemicals in our environment more fully...it is like pollution tho, we can regulate all we want in our country, but when china spews it out, the air quality of the world as a whole is doomed....and we cant change that....besides, with the radiation japan has put in the oceans, it will kill the oceans in a few generations...and after that we will all have 3 eyeballs before we die out a few generations after that....so live while you can!
