Problem is...I just don't believe it's that simple.

that is your full quote.
In reply this is what I said
"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 think I have the same problem that NYCorchidman has with you. There is a serious disconnect between what you say and what you claim to mean. You are posting on a thread that is discussing the issues with "Bees Bayer Systemic Pesticide". If you are not going to stop buying the product because you don't believe "its that simple" - then you don't seem to comprehend the concept of INACTION vs ACTION !!!!
You also conveniently do not address what the EPA, the Europeans and the manufacturer of the product are doing and have done.
