Monitoring of honey bees and native pollinators during the planting of crops treated with Neonicotinoid Insecticides ―
University of Laval et al
In 2012 ―
• [ A mere ] 29 bee poisoning cases in the Monteregie Region ( South-Western Quebec ) ― mortality was greater than 150 individuals over a 48-hour period in [ a mere ] six monitored apiaries
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION 29 incidents from a total of 41,407 hives represents an incidence rate of 0.07 per cent, which is INSIGNIFICANT. Why are only an EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER of hives affected ?!?! ]
• [ A mere ] 9 cases with chlothianidin and/or thiamethoxam above the detection thresholds
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION 9 incidents from a total of 41,407 hives represents an incidence rate of 0.02 per cent, which is even more INSIGNIFICANT. Why are only an EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER of hives affected ?!?! ]
• [ A mere ] 10 water samples analyzed ( water from puddles in treated fields ) ― 100 per cent contained chlothianidin and 60 per cent contained thiamethoxam residues
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― The ability to measure or detect the presence of clothianidin and⁄or thiamethoxam in water from puddles in treated fields comes as ABSOLUTELY NO SURPRISE, but it is NOT AN INDICATION that these ingredients posed any health risk, especially at the TRACE LEVELS at which we can now detect them, which is in PARTS PER TRILLION. ]

Monitoring of honey bees and native pollinators during the planting of crops treated with Neonicotinoid Insecticides ―
In 2013 ―
• [ A mere ] 2 cases of bee poisoning in the Monteregie Region ( South-Western Quebec ) ― mortality was greater than [ a mere ] 150 individuals over a 48-hour period
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Why are only an EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER of bee hives affected ?!?! Why do a mere 150 bees deserve such GRANDIOSE consideration ?!?! ]
• Analysis results forthcoming
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― In other words, Neonicotinoid Insecticides CANNOT be proven to be responsible for bee losses in this case. ]
• 15 water samples analyzed ( WATER FROM PUDDLES IN TREATED FIELDS ) ― 87 per cent contained chlothianidin and 73 per cent contained thiamethoxam residues
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― The ability to measure or detect the presence of clothianidin and⁄or thiamethoxam in water from puddles in treated fields comes as ABSOLUTELY NO SURPRISE, but it is NOT AN INDICATION that these ingredients posed any health risk, especially at the TRACE LEVELS at which we can now detect them, which is in PARTS PER TRILLION. ]

Treated ― 10,300 kg/ha*
Untreated ― 10,151 kg/ha*
* Non-significant difference
Season 1 results ― NO increased yield with the use of coated seeds However, a number of the tested sites were at high risk for finding soil insects ( e.g., plowed grasslands )
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Bee Conspiracy Fanatics and Government Officials are philosophically opposed to the Preventive Use ( or Prophylactic Use ) of pest control products based upon the PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE for the control of damaging pests. Preventive⁄Prophylactic is defined as the strategy for defending or protecting from pests. So, all of a sudden, the PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE has fallen out of favour with Bee Conspiracy Fanatics ?!?! The Preventive⁄Prophylactic Strategy is a carefully-crafted form of pest management that protects crops from damaging pests. The controversy against Preventive⁄Prophylactic Strategy has been concocted by Bee Conspiracy Fanatics who have NO expertise, NO training, and NO education in matters concerning crop protection or pest control products. But, these fanatics DO have an over-riding agenda to prohibit pest control products, despite the fact that the Preventive⁄Prophylactic Use of these products have been assessed to be scientifically-safe and will cause NO harm to bees when used properly. Are Bee-Keepers merely seeking UNJUSTIFIABLE GOVERNMENT COMPENSATION ?!?! http://tinyurl.com/l8odbpc http://wp.me/p1jq40-77N http://wp.me/p1jq40-7VI Bee Conspiracy Fanatics should GET A GRIP ON REALITY, and STOP MIS-LEADING THE PUBLIC about their opposition against Preventive⁄Prophylactic Strategy for pest control. Neonicotinoid Insecticides are used on a PRECAUTIONARY BASIS AS INSURANCE that food crops will NOT BE DESTROYED by unforeseen damaging pests. This PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE also be applied to HEALTH INSURANCE, AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE and even PREGNANCY PREVENTION. Are Bee Conspiracy Fanatics opposed to ALL forms of Preventive⁄Prophylactic Use within our society ?!?! Of course NOT ! For example, HEALTH INSURANCE is a Preventive⁄Prophylactic Service against the risk of incurring medical expenses among individuals. For example, AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE is a Preventive⁄Prophylactic Service used to provide financial protection against physical damage and/or bodily injury resulting from traffic collisions against the risk of incurring repair expenses for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other road vehicles. For example, PREGNANCY PROTECTION is a Preventive⁄Prophylactic Method that avoids mishaps with sexual partners. Would Bee Conspiracy Fanatics stop using ALL forms of Preventive⁄Prophylactic Use ?!?! of course NOT ! Furthermore, overwhelming scientific evidence has consistently indicated that the Preventive⁄Prophylactic Use of Neonicotinoid Insecticides are scientifically safe and will cause NO harm to bees when used properly. Bee Conspiracy Fanatics should STOP MIS-LEADING THE PUBLIC about their opposition against Neonicotinoid Insecticides that are used on a PRECAUTIONARY BASIS. ]

Slide No 7 ― Monitoring By Quebec Ministry Of Agriculture, Fisheries, And Food
Voluntary Reporting By Bee-Keepers
Actual Cases May Be Under-Reported ―
• The Bee-Keeper enters into an agreement with producers to place apiaries in their fields ― for the sake of « HARMONIOUS CO-EXISTENCE » ― NO reporting of mortality cases
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Neonicotinoid-Hating Bee-Keepers allege that they DO NOT want « to be at odds with their farming neighbours » in the Agriculture Industry, and they express the MOCK-DESIRES for « harmonious co-existence with growers ». And yet, Neonicotinoid-Hating Bee-Keepers have, repeatedly and maliciously, precipitated actions that will lead to the DESTRUCTION of the agriculture industry. These fanatics seek harmony while CONSPIRING TO IMPOSE RECKLESS PROHIBITION against Neonicotinoid Insecticides that are DESPERATELY NEEDED by the Agriculture Industry. Unfortunately, Neonicotinoid-Hating Bee-Keepers will have brought on LITIGATION against themselves, their trade associations, and local governments like Ontario ! CropLife Canada, Agriculture Trade Associations, and all agricultural businesses, must SUE these anti-neonicotinoid SOBs’ brains’ out ! They must STOP ANY PROHIBITION, everywhere, whatever the cost may be ! Neonicotinoid-Hating Bee-Keepers are NOT TO BE TRUSTED ! For more information about SUING THE SOBs’ BRAINS OUT, go to The Pesticide Truths Web-Site … http://wp.me/p1jq40-8FZ ]
• The Bee-Keeper visits his⁄her apiaries on a sporadic basis ― he⁄she may NOT notice cases of abnormally high mortality
• Only cases in which significant mortality is noted are reported ( acute exposure to corn planting dust )
• Any chronic exposure MAY lead to the manifestation of various colony problems and disorders that are NOT reported, since it is often hard for the Bee-Keeper to observe them
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Bee-Keepers and Government Officials are ABSOLUTELY WRONG ABOUT THE LOSS of BEES ! Their allegations are SO RIDICULOUS that observers are beginning to speculate that Bee-Keepers have DELIBERATELY KILLED THEIR BEES in order to LAY FALSE BLAME against Neonicotinoid Insecticides. In essence, Bee-Keepers MAY BE TAMPERING WITH THE SAMPLES provided to Health Canada for analysis. In 2012 and 2013, when Health Canada visited Bee-Keepers to evaluate their dead bees, THERE WAS NO LEGITIMATE CHAIN of CUSTODY FOR THE SAMPLES of DEAD BEES THAT WERE ALLEGEDLY POISONED BY INSECTICIDE. Bee-Keepers MAY HAVE DELIBERATELY KILLED THEIR BEES with the malicious intent of COERCING AND INTIMIDATING Government Officials into prohibiting insecticides. Health Canada must consider this scenario during its investigation. Health Canada should further investigate as to why only a VERY LIMITED NUMBER of Bee-Keepers actually report losses, LESS THAN 1 PER CENT of ALL BEE-KEEPERS. In 2012, a mere 43 Bee-Keepers alleged losses. In 2013, only 82 Bee-Keepers alleged losses. There are 7,000 Bee-Keepers keeping 600,000 colonies of honeybees across Canada. Essentially, a mere 1.0 per cent of all Bee-Keepers are reporting losses. Over 99 per cent of all Bee-Keepers are reporting NO losses. 1 per cent of Bee-Keepers appear to HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING, leading some observers to conclude that Bee-Keepers may NOT BE COMPETENT TO RAISE BEES. Why are only a VERY LIMITED NUMBER of Bee-Keepers affected ?!?! Why doesn’t Health Canada investigate the KILLING of BEES BY BEE-KEEPERS ?!?! Health Canada must test the Bee-Keepers’ residences and clothing for residue. Observers point out to how much PROFIT the Bee-Keepers will make once they launch a class-action lawsuit that is supported by an imminent politically-motivated PROVINCIAL PROHIBITIONS against Neonicotinoid Insecticides. Neonicotinoid-Hating Bee-Keepers ACT AS LUNATICS who will SAY ANYTHING and DO ANYTHING in order to INCREASE THE PROFIT of THEIR VESTED INTERESTS. Additionally, Neonicotinoid-Hating Bee-Keepers will also SAY ANYTHING and DO ANYTHING in order to COERCE AND INTIMIDATE Health Canada to PROHIBIT against Neonicotinoid Insecticides. Observers believe Neonicotinoid-Hating Bee-Keepers LIE ABOUT THE LOSS of THEIR BEES. ]

2008 Results ―
Four reports concerning [ a mere ] four Bee-Keepers in which weakening of colonies ( increased daily mortality of bees ) near corn-fields during the spring planting season was noted
However, the analysis results are INCONCLUSIVE
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Observers believe that Bee-Keepers LIE about the alleged losses of bees, just as they LIE about their COMPETENCY on raising bees. INCOMPETENT Bee-Keepers falsely blame their bee losses on neonicotinoid insecticide, and believe that they are ENTITLED TO UNJUSTIFIABLE GOVERNMENT COMPENSATION. These Neonicotinoid-Hating Bee-Keepers act as RECKLESS LUNATICS who will also SAY ANYTHING and DO ANYTHING in order to obtain FREE GOVERNMENT MONEY. They will SAY ANYTHING and DO ANYTHING in order to COERCE AND INTIMIDATE Government Officials into RECKLESSLY PROHIBITING Neonicotinoid Insecticides. The IMPOSITION of PROHIBITION will guarantee their ENTITLEMENT TO UNJUSTIFIABLE GOVERNMENT COMPENSATION. Unfortunately, ANY PROHIBITION or ANY restriction will NOT save bees. The alleged losses of bees are, in fact, the fault of these Bee-Keepers and their INSANE management practices. The Bee-Keepers themselves are CLEARLY RESPONSIBLE since they appear to be unable or unwilling or NOT competent enough to mitigate the REAL issues that harm bees. Their INCOMPETENT hive management leads to bee losses caused by starvation, weak colonies, fungal infections, and mite infestations. STARVATION is biggest single cause of bee losses ! For example, the factor cited by most Ontario producers for winter loss has been STARVATION, followed by WEAK COLONIES IN THE FALL, and POOR QUEENS. http://wp.me/p1jq40-97E Bee-Keepers seemingly prefer to remain INCOMPETENT at bee-keeping, and expect the government to shower them with vast sums of UNJUSTIFIABLE COMPENSATION. http://tinyurl.com/l8odbpc http://wp.me/p1jq40-77N http://wp.me/p1jq40-7VI Why are only a very limited number of Bee-Keepers affected ?!?! Because they represent THE INCOMPETENT Bee-Keepers with the INSANE management practices. ]
2009 Results ―
[ A mere ] one case of an apiary located near a corn-field during the planting season
One day after planting, 20 per cent of hives’ dead and 50 per cent of nuclei dead
Clothianidin detected in the dead bees ( 20 per cent of LD50 )
Reported to the Pest Management Regulatory Agency of Health Canada
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― The mere ability to measure or detect the presence of clothianidin in dead bees is NOT AN INDICATION that this ingredient posed any health risk, especially at the TRACE LEVELS at which we can now detect them, which is in PARTS PER TRILLION. ]
2010 Results ―
[ A mere ] two incidents with a high bee mortality rate near corn-fields during the spring planting season ― clothianidin and/or thiamethoxam detected in the analyzed bees
Reported to the Pest Management Regulatory Agency of Health Canada
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Again, the mere ability to measure or detect the presence of clothianidin and/or thiamethoxam in dead bees is NOT AN INDICATION that these ingredients posed any health risk, especially at the TRACE LEVELS at which we can now detect them, which is in PARTS PER TRILLION. ]

Slide No 11 ― Position Of Producer Groups
Federation des Apiculteurs du Quebec ( FAQ )
( Quebec Bee-Keepers Federation )
Resolution Adopted On May 15th, 2013 ―
The FAQ asserts that the current use of neonicotinoid pesticides in field crops is harmful to pollinators and creates environmental problems whose importance largely exceeds their eventual benefits.
Therefore the FAQ asks the Pest Management Regulatory Agency
( PMRA ) to BAN their use on field crops.
The FAQ also adopted a communication plan to raise awareness among farmers to reduce the use of Neonicotinoid Insecticides
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Quebec Bee-Keepers Federation is the SAME TYPE of BOGUS GROUP as Ontario Bee-Keepers’ Association ( OBA ). Both operate as an Anti-Pesticide & Environmental Organizations which are renegade, destructive, reckless, and subversive. http://wp.me/P1jq40-7NX They both CONSPIRE TO IMPOSE ARBITRARY PROHIBITION against Neonicotinoid Insecticide used by the Agriculture Industry. PROHIBITION is demanded by these #@!!% Bee-Keeper-Fanatics under the FALSE PRETEXT that the principal problem leading to so-called Bee Colony Collapse Disorder is Neonicotinoid Insecticides. THIS IS FALSE ! Both groups do NOT know what they are talking about since they are mere trade associations. Both are NOT science organizations. Both are NOT a research organization. No one in these groups has any recognized training, background, or expertise in matters concerning Neonicotinoid Insecticides. Both have opinions that are UTTERLY VALUELESS AND TOTALLY WORTHLESS ! Both groups operate as mere PROPAGANDA SHIELDS for Sierra Club of Canada ― an alliance with a mindless environmental group. http://wp.me/P1jq40-7tH Observers have concluded that it is obvious that Bee Colony Collapse Disorder is the FAULT of BEE-KEEPERS AND THEIR MIS-MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. Bee-Keepers are responsible, and NOT Neonicotinoid Insecticides. Bee-Keepers are NEGLIGENT AND INCOMPETENT because of their mis-management practices. They have NOT performed due diligence to control Varroa mites, Nosema fungus, tobacco ringspot virus, and other pests that damage and kill bees. They appear to be UNABLE OR UNWILLING to properly control these pests. They would rather LAY FALSE BLAME against Neonicotinoid Insecticides. It is also obvious that Bee-Keepers are MERELY SEEKING PROFIT, in a manner similar to the UNJUSTIFIABLE COMPENSATION they received from the Government of Ontario in 2014. http://tinyurl.com/l8odbpc http://wp.me/p1jq40-77N http://wp.me/p1jq40-7VI ]

4 meetings have been held between 2011 and 2013
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Quebec’s Committee For Protecting Pollinators From Pesticides is the SAME TYPE of BOGUS GROUP that was staged by the Government of Ontario. On July 7th, 2014, the Government of Ontario stated that it intends TO BECOME THE FIRST PROVINCE TO RESTRICT ( a.k.a. PROHIBIT ) the use of Neonicotinoid Insecticides, a decision based upon its Bee Health Working Group. http://wp.me/p1jq40-8ar http://wp.me/p1jq40-87y This group was formed UNDER THE FALSE PRETEXT making recommendations on how to mitigate the potential risk of certain Neonicotinoid Insecticides to honey bees. THIS WAS A DECEPTION ! Why bother with the proceedings of this working group ?!?! Essentially, Ontario Bee Health Working Group WAS RIGGED ! Neonicotinoid Insecticides will be RECKLESSLY and ARBITRARILY PROHIBITED in Ontario ! This PROHIBITION will set the stage for EVEN MORE PROHIBITIONS across the nation. Ontario’s Anti-Pesticide Government Officials, who are members in this working group, have already FALSELY ALLEGED that they really had NO ROLE IN PROHIBITION, and that they were just going through the motions. Nonetheless, the Anti-Pesticide Premier of Ontario, Kathleen Wynne, will USE THE MAJORITY VOTE of this working group as PROPAGANDA TO VALIDATE PROHIBITION against the use of Neonicotinoid Insecticides against both the Agriculture Industry and the Golf Industry. Sadly, the Government Officials who participated in this working group were PAID tens of thousands of dollars in tax-payer money to RECKLESSLY and ARBITRARILY OPPOSE and INVALIDATE PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS that have already been ASSESSED and APPROVED FOR USE BY HEALTH CANADA ? WE ARE ALL SO SCREWED ! http://wp.me/p1jq40-7a5 Additionally, the Anti-Pesticide Government of Ontario has already ARBITRARILY IMPOSED MALICIOUS and DESTRUCTIVE PROHIBITION against the use of pest control products in the Urban Landscape. As a result, PROHIBITION DESTROYED THE PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE INDUSTRY. http://wp.me/P1jq40-43B With this BEE HEALTH WORKING GROUP, the Anti-Pesticide Government of Ontario is merely looking for so-called experts WHO AGREE WITH THEM as they seek ARBITRARY and INEFFECTUAL PROHIBITION against Neonicotinoid Insecticides. The report from this BEE HEALTH WORKING GROUP will serve as a PRELUDE TO PROHIBITION since it was INFESTED with Anti-Pesticide Organizations such as Ontario Bee-Keepers’ Association ( a.k.a. Sierra Club of Canada ), and anti-pesticide ministries such as Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Health. These organizations are listed as Anti-Pesticide & Environmental Organizations. http://wp.me/P1jq40-48S More precisely, the Ontario ministries operate as mere INSTRUMENTS of ANTI-PESTICIDE PROPAGANDA. Sierra Club operates as a MERE FUND-RAISING, PROFIT-SEEKING, and LOBBYING organization, and it is NOT a science, research, or health organization. Sierra Club is presently UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR CHARITY FRAUD and CONSPIRACY. Sierra and the Ontario ministries merely seek to INVALIDATE the work of Health Canada. In fact, only Health Canada has THE ESSENTIAL EXPERTISE on pest control products, and NOT Sierra Club, and NOT Ontario ministries. ONTARIO’S WORKING GROUP WAS RIGGED, and PROHIBITION WILL BE IMPOSED ! ]

Slide No 15 ― Committee For Protecting Pollinators From Pesticides ( continued )
Actions In Progress ―
• Raise awareness of farmers and advisors on the risks of insecticides for pollinators and for human health, and raise awareness on the principles of Integrated Pest Management [ IPM ] with regard to the systematic use of Neonicotinoid Insecticides ( ~ 25 presentations and publication of the Protegeons Les Abeilles des Applications De Pesticides leaflet ( Protect The Bees From Pesticide Applications ) ) [ ?!?! ]
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Pesticide-Free Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) will NEVER achieve the level of total reduction or elimination of damaging pests attained by using conventional pest control products. Wherever Pesticide-Free IPM is entirely relied upon, damaging pests MAY ONLY BE SLIGHTLY SUPPRESSED, at the expense of plant growth and crop quality. In practice, IPM MAY BE MORE USEFUL in providing some LIMITED IMPROVEMENT towards the efficiency and effectiveness of conventional pest control products. ]
• Mixed results for the 2012 awareness campaign on seeds NOT treated with insecticides ( very few requests )

• Funding for the monitoring of soil insects to PROMOTE sound Integrated Pest Management [ IPM ]
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― The interpretations of Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) provide NO BENEFIT and NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS with the use of simplistic messages like « use least toxic pesticides as a last resort » and « apply it only as a last resort ». According to three scientific organizations ― Weed Science Society of America ( WSSA ), American Phytopathological Society ( APS ), and Plant-Insect Ecosystems Section of the Entomological Society of America ( P-IE ESA ) ― these messages are NOT THE CORRECT APPROACHES to the pesticide component of an Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) program. http://wp.me/p1jq40-5JK ]

Neonicotinoid Insecticides In Quebec ― Slide Presentation ― Government Of Quebec
Slide No 19 ― Conclusions
What We Think ?!?!
Do soil pest insects problems in Quebec require the wide-spread use of Neonicotinoid Insecticides on more than 500,000 ha ?!?!
Judicious use of Neonicotinoid Insecticides must be based on Integrated Pest Management [ IPM ] principles [ ?!?! ]
The bee health issue is NOT exclusive to Quebec and Ontario, it is a concern that should be ACROSS CANADA
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Canadian western provinces like Saskatchewan DO NOT currently plan to implement any RESTRICTIONS against Neonicotinoid Insecticides. Saskatchewan respects the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) of Health Canada and its scientific system to evaluate, register, and monitor pest control products. Saskatchewan sees the PMRA’s continuing evaluation of Neonicotinoid Insecticides as important. Saskatchewan believes that DECISIONS concerning these pest control products MUST BE BASED ON SOUND SCIENCE. NO RESTRICTIONS will be imposed since there have been NO REPORTED INCIDENTS of Neonicotinoid Seed Treatments affecting honey bees in Saskatchewan. According to Saskatchewan, Varroa mites and other damaging pests are the main health concerns for the Bee-Keeping Industry. When these pests are controlled properly, bee-keepers are very successful at maintaining healthy colonies. http://tinyurl.com/l55otku ]
What We Are Doing ?!?!
The Committee For Protecting Pollinators From Pesticides will continue its work
Quebec has already asked the Pest Management Regulatory Agency of Health Canada to SPEED UP THE REVIEW PROCESS so that an informed decision may be taken on the use of these products
[ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ― Neonicotinoid Insecticides used on the VAST MAJORITY of agricultural crops WILL NOT harm pollinators. On January 6th, 2015, Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency ( PMRA ) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) released their preliminary assessments, both of which show A LIMITED NUMBER of situations where some Neonicotinoid Insecticides pose risk to pollinators. http://wp.me/p1jq40-99l http://wp.me/p1jq40-9eb According to this risk assessment of a Neonicotinoid Insecticide, imidacloprid, label directions and rules for foliar and seed treatments of imidacloprid should either PREVENT or LIMIT the risks to honeybees and other pollinators. The EPA data also showed that citrus and cotton may have residues of the insecticide in pollen and nectar above the threshold level of 25 parts per billion, above which effects on pollinator hives were likely to be seen. In North America, citrus fruits for consumption as fresh fruit are mainly grown in California, Arizona, and Texas. Cotton is grown in the southern United States. Citrus and cotton are NOT grown as crops in most of North America. Overall, Neonicotinoid Insecticides are used in a way that MINIMIZES any direct exposure to bees, such as seed treatment. Seed treatment insecticides have been used for a decade with almost NO incidences of negative impacts on bees by minimizing potential exposures of non-target insects such as bees. Under normal field use of Neonicotinoid Insecticides, the exposure to bees is at very low levels, far too low to cause harmful effects. Why are a small number of Bee-Keepers alleging the loss of bees, even OUTSIDE of situations where some Neonicotinoid Insecticides pose risk to pollinators ?!?! THE REAL CULPRITS WHO HARM BEES ARE ACTUALLY THE BEE-KEEPERS THEMSELVES ! Seemingly, Bee-Keepers are losing their bees over and over again. Why is this madness happening ?!?! Observers have concluded that many Bee-Keepers have no idea what they are doing, and are simply NOT skilled to raise bees. Bee-Keepers are killing their own bees over and over again. The alleged losses of bees are, in fact, the fault of these Bee-Keepers and their mis-management practices. The Bee-Keepers themselves are clearly responsible since they appear to be unable or unwilling or NOT skilled enough to mitigate the real issues that harm bees, such as starvation, weak colonies, fungal infections, and mite infestations. They prefer to remain unproficient at bee-keeping, and expect the government to shower them with vast sums of unjustifiable compensation. http://tinyurl.com/l8odbpc http://wp.me/p1jq40-77N http://wp.me/p1jq40-7VI ]
Quebec also plans to send letters to those concerned to improve access to untreated seeds

Background Information
The Bee-Keeper Industry ― Here Are The Facts That Are Known
√ FACT ― Bee Colony Collapse is an ENVIRONMENTAL HOAX, and ISN’T REALLY HAPPENING.
√ FACT ― There is NO bee crisis !
https://pesticidetruths.com/2013/09/16/there-is-no-bee-crisis/
√ FACT ― Ontario’s Liberal Government Officials CHERRY-PICK SCIENCE to validate PROHIBITION against Neonicotinoid Insecticides, and IGNORE Health Canada findings.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers are HARMING bees, and NOT Neonicotinoid Insecticides ― Bee Colony Collapse Disorder is the FAULT of Bee-Keepers and their MIS-MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/bee-colony-collapse-disorder/
√ FACT ― Seemingly, some Bee-Keepers prefer to remain INCOMPETENT at bee-keeping, and expect the government to shower them with vast sums of UNJUSTIFIABLE COMPENSATION.
https://pesticidetruths.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Dumb-Shit-Ontario-Beekeeping-Association.mp3
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers are WRONG about Neonicotinoid Insecticides since the weight of the scientific evidence clearly shows that they represent a SLIM RISK OF HARM from applications used by the Agriculture Industry ― Bee-Keepers KNOW ALMOST NOTHING about Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers fail to admit that there are only A VERY LIMITED NUMBER of reported losses, LESS THAN 1 PER CENT, that are actually caused by Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/bee-colony-collapse-disorder/
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers avoid admitting that agricultural FUGITIVE DUST may be ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL POSSIBLE ROUTES OF BEE EXPOSURE to Neonicotinoid Insecticides ― Bee-Keepers KNOW ALMOST NOTHING about Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING, leading some observers to conclude that Bee-Keepers may NOT BE COMPETENT TO RAISE BEES.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers all over North America are LYING and CHEATING by using ILLEGAL and UNREGISTERED pest control products, like AMITRAZ, which is also A POTENTIAL HUMAN CARCINOGEN.
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/bee-colony-collapse-disorder/
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers know full well that VARROA MITES are the primary problem associated with bee losses, and NOT Neonicotinoid Insecticides ― Bee-Keepers KNOW ALMOST NOTHING about Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers appear to be UNABLE or UNWILLING to get their major pest problems under control, such as VARROA MITES, leading observers to conclude that Bee-Keepers may NOT BE COMPETENT to handle their businesses, and may be WHOLLY UNSUITED to be raising bees.
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/bee-colony-collapse-disorder/
√ FACT ― Ontario Bee-Keepers say STARVATION is the BIGGEST SINGLE CAUSE of winter losses and NOT Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
√ FACT ― One of the BIGGEST KILLERS of honeybees ― Bee-Keepers LOSE MILLIONS because of THE CARNAGE OF TRUCK ACCIDENTS, WITH UP TO 20 MILLION HONEYBEES HAVING DIED IN A SINGLE EVENT, and may be WHOLLY UNSUITED to be transporting bees.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers are blaming insecticides as a PLOY TO DISTRACT the public and Government Officials from the REAL PROBLEMS OF BEE-KEEPERS, such as BOTULISM, a paralytic illness that CAN BE FATAL and CAN KILL INFANTS.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers are CONTINUOUSLY STEALING from other Bee-Keepers, and have essentially been described as a mere bunch of THIEVING RUSTLERS ― Hence, Bee-Keepers are the LEAST CREDIBLE and the LEAST QUALIFIED to provide any advice concerning Neonicotinoid Insecticides, and therefore, CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
https://pesticidetruths.com/2013/08/29/bee-keepers-stealing-from-each-other-modern-farmer/
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers are conveniently overlooking the fact that coated seed used by the Agriculture Industry renders insecticides INACCESSIBLE and HARMLESS and REDUCED RISK to bees ― Bee-Keepers KNOW ALMOST NOTHING about Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers are ILLEGALLY USING PRODUCTS LIKE AMITRAZ which is known to cause CANCER, and is known to KILL people.
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/bee-colony-collapse-disorder/
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers produce THE ONLY KNOWN FOOD PRODUCT that has been proven to be LINKED TO INFANT BOTULISM AND DEATH.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keeper Trade Associations too often operate as mere PROPAGANDA SHIELD organizations for Sierra Club ― AN ALLIANCE WITH A MINDLESS ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP.
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/ontario-bee-keepers-association/
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers use ILLEGAL, UNREGISTERED, DEADLY, and CANCER-CAUSING products, like AMITRAZ, and thus, Bee-Keepers are producing potentially DANGEROUS HONEY.
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/bee-colony-collapse-disorder/
√ FACT ― If Bee-Keepers are CAPABLE OF LYING AND CHEATING AND STEALING AS BEE RUSTLERS, then they are also capable of LYING AND CHEATING with their public statements against insecticides ― Hence, Bee-Keepers are the LEAST CREDIBLE and the LEAST QUALIFIED to provide any advice concerning Neonicotinoid Insecticides, and therefore, CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
https://pesticidetruths.com/2013/08/29/bee-keepers-stealing-from-each-other-modern-farmer/
√ FACT ― Neonicotinoid Insecticides are NOT killing bees, but the Bee-Keepers themselves ARE KILLING THEIR OWN BEES with the so-called Bee-Keeper Pitchfork Rebellion.

To fight the war against Anti-Pesticide Terrorism, you need facts !
Read … PESTICIDE TRUTHS
Watch … UNCLE ADOLPH
Listen To … NORAHG
Learn From … FORCE OF NATURE
Discover What Anti-Pesticide & Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists Are Doing And Saying About Subversively Imposing Their Life-Style Choices Against Our Society.
Read … Reports, Blogs, & Videos, From Force Of Nature, NORAHG, Pesticide Truths, & Uncle Adolph ― The Whole Truth From An Independent Perspective.
Communities and businesses are being HARMED and DESTROYED and RAPED by LUNATIC-TERRORISTS who ARBITRARILY AND RECKLESSLY IMPOSE PROHIBITIONS against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape and by the Agriculture Industry, and who PERPETRATE OTHER ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM.
We are living in the 9|11 Era of Anti Pesticide & Environmental Terrorism where at least ONE SUBVERSIVE ACT OF TERRORISM is perpetrated EVERY SINGLE DAY by LUNATIC-TERRORISTS.
A LUNATIC is a person whose actions and manner are marked by extreme recklessness.
The RECKLESS ACTS OF SUBVERSION by these LUNATIC-TERRORISTS has led to the ARBITRARY IMPOSITION of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION in several jurisdictions throughout North America.
The result was CATASTROPHIC CARNAGE !
Because of LUNATIC-TERRORISTS, provinces like Ontario now have a TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES DESTROYED and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, a MORE DANGEROUS OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT, and a BLACK MARKET IN PESTICIDES.
Only TRUE LUNATICS would wish to create a TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES DESTROYED and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK.
Because of LUNATIC-TERRORISTS, we are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by FAKE SCIENTISTS, JUNK SCIENCE and UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOR ― scientific research PROVES that pest control products will CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.
An informed public is better able to protect itself and its communities and businesses from LUNATIC-TERRORISTS who are THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE ANY ADVICE about pest control products or the environment.
NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green space and other industries, and the well-being of our communities.
NORAHG morally represents the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of people associated with turf and ornamental plant maintenance who are OPPOSED to LUNATIC-TERRORISTS and their Anti Pesticide PROHIBITIONS, resulting in the CLOSURE or ABANDONMENT of green spaces under the RIDICULOUS PRETEXT CONCOCTED BY LUNATICS of somehow « saving » the environment.
NORAHG is a NATIONAL NON-PROFIT NON-PARTISAN organization that does not accept money from corporations or governments or trade associations, and represents NO VESTED INTERESTS WHATSOEVER.
NORAHG is dedicated to reporting PESTICIDE FREE FAILURES, as well as the work of RESPECTED & HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTICIDE TRUTHS.
NORAHG strikes back against the MYTHS concerning the need for prohibition against pest control products.
NORAHG RESPONDS on behalf of the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of THE PUBLIC THAT DOES NOT WANT PESTICIDE BANS, and SUPPORTS those who work in the Professional Lawn Care Industry, the Golf Industry, and the Agriculture Industry.
RESPECTED & HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS
THE MYTHS ABOUT BANNING PESTICIDES
VAST SILENT MAJORITY
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/the-wisdom-of-canadian-consumer-specialty-products-association/
NORAHG is opposed to PESTICIDE FREE jurisdictions where LUNATIC-TERRORISTS have DOOMED CHILDREN to SUFFER INJURIES since Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION inevitably leads to public and residential green spaces that become DANGEROUS AND PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS.

NORAHG pledges to deliver comprehensive reports that are worthy of peoples’ time and of peoples’ concern, reports that might ordinarily never have breached the parapet.
NORAHG was the brainchild of William H Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder.
Force Of Nature was launched by NORAHG for CONTINUOUS transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009 ― however, the VERY FIRST Stand-Alone Force Of Nature Report was issued on September 19th, 2008.
On March 15th, 2010, Uncle Adolph independently launched The Pesticide Truths, an easy-to-use Web-Site that collects relevant reports of information right-off-the-press.
Primus inter pares, first among equals, describes Pesticide Truths, Uncle Adolph, and Force Of Nature ― they are formally equal to each other and are all accorded equal respect.
The reports and blogs from Pesticide Truths, Uncle Adolph, and Force Of Nature, in some ways, are like Google for everything concerning the SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES of Anti-Pesticide and Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists.
Many of these reports and blogs provide a sequence of historical events WITH COMMENTARY, the neutrality of which might be disputed.
This is what we do. Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.
