Just got a Sierra Club letter advising that there is a bill in Congress to stop using neonicotinoids (supplied by Bayer - coating of soy and corn seeds) which kill bees.

 

Bill:  Saving America's Polllinators Act of 2015 - there is a petition addressed to minority leader Nancy Pelosi included but you can probably find it online at Sierra Club and elsewhere.

Watching that closely.  The evidence provide by Europe and UK bans on neonics are inconclusive.
