<div><p>There’s been a lot of buzz lately about bee-killing pesticides. Honeybees have been dying off at alarming rates, and neonicotinoid pesticides (“neonics”)  are implicated in this decline.</p>
<p>This week, an<strong> <a style="color:#26797f;text-decoration:none" href="http://go.davidsuzuki.org/q1UV0N0r4Z005B00D09500k" target="_blank">international group of scientists</a></strong> released the results of a comprehensive analysis of <strong>800 peer reviewed studies on neonics</strong> – a massive, four-year undertaking. Their conclusion: <strong>“…there is clear evidence of harm sufficient to trigger regulatory action.”</strong> The assessment highlights serious risks, not only to bees, but to many other beneficial species, including butterflies, earthworms and birds.<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10px"> </span></p>

<p>Last year, Europe announced a moratorium on the use of three neonics on bee-attracting crops. In Canada, however, these pesticides are still in widespread use.That stings! Federal and provincial governments share responsibility for pesticide regulation in Canada.  </p>
