Study: It's pesticides that are killing off bees [feedly]

CS Globe - A new study out of Harvard University, published in the June edition of the Bulletin of Insectology puts the nail in the coffin: neonicotinoids are killing bees at an exponential rate, they are the direct cause of the phenomenon labeled as colony collapse disorder.

Neonicotinoid's are the world's most widely used insecticides.

"The results from this study not only replicate findings from the previous study, but also reinforce the conclusion that the sublethal exposure to neonicotinoids is likely the main culprit for the occurrence of CCD." 

These pesticide components are found in soil, they are also found in fields where the chemicals are not even sprayed.  Bees also actively transfer contaminated pollen from primarily pesticide treated corn crops and bring it back to their hives.
