The Neonicotinoid View: This Week's Buzz

In this special series called “The Neonicotinoid View”, host June Stoyer and special guest co-host, Colorado beekeeper, Tom Theobald, discuss current events and news about neonicotinoids.  Joining the conversation tonight is New York’s Jim Doan, the first known commercial migratory beekeeper to lose his operations due to neonicotinoid exposure.

One of the main topics will be a discussion about industry’s public relations efforts surrounding the use of neonicotinoids. Are they pumping up their PR efforts in an attempt to circumvent efforts by bee advocates, scientists and environmentalists? We will also continue the discussion about Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency recent announcement and discuss other news about neonicotinoids.  Stay tuned!
