NORAHG RESPONDS THAT NEONICOTINOID INSECTICIDES ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY
Millward SHOULD LEAVE SCIENCE TO THE REAL EXPERTS. There is NO unambiguous evidence to suggest that neonicotinoid insecticides are to blame for the decline in bee populations. Under normal use, neonicotinoid insecticides will NOT pose a problem. In the European Union, prohibition against neonicotinoid insecticides was a reaction to over-heated rhetoric. In fact, studies in both Europe and in North America have proven there is NO accumulation and NO bio-accumulation after 10 consecutive years. Why are neonicotinoid insecticides environmentally-friendly and cause no harm to bees ? It is because they are coated on agricultural seed, and the seed is buried in the soil, so it is inaccessible to the bees. Moreover, neonicotinoid insecticides have extremely low toxicity to humans, extremely low toxicity to other mammals as well as birds and fish. They have NO persistence beyond the levels that you would expect in an agricultural field for one year. Additionally, there is NO reason to believe that neonicotinoid insecticides persist in water over long periods of time. Science and statistics DO NOT support demands to recklessly prohibit against neonicotinoid insecticides used in the agriculture industry. There are NO valid reasons for their prohibition. If we had less pesticide use in the environment, WE WOULD STILL HAVE Bee Colony Collapse Disorder, because MANY BEE-KEEPERS ARE NOT COMPETENT TO MANAGE THEIR HIVES.
