New Study on Neonicotinoid, Imidacloprid

A new study on the sublethal effects of the neonicotinoid insecticide, imidacloprid on honeybees was released yesterday. Yes, they found negative effects on bee health, but perhaps not as deadly as first thought. Read for yourself to decide. Thanks to beekeeper Karen for finding this.
