Spike, it seems there is a big problem also in Italy.
According to the http://www.mieliditalia.it/
association the decline (or extinction) of honey bee's,
if not of all bee types, is due, for sure, to the new
pesticides (neonicotinoids) by Bayer and Syngenta.
These pesticides are specifically used in certain
regions where the main production is corn. As far
as I understand you buy seeds already treated
with pesticides, from the beginning.
