From the article.

Yet Guelph University entomologist Peter Kevan, disagreed with the EU ban.

“There’s very little evidence to say that neonicotinoids, in a very general sense, in a broad scale sense, have been a major component in the demise of honeybees or any other pollinators, anywhere in the world,” said Kevan.

Great. Now when the killer African bees get here all honey bees will be decimated.

Apparently its only wimpy European honey bees that are dying. Most native plants don't need Euro honey bees to get fertilized.

They should cross the European honey bees with African killer bees to toughen them the f*ck up with bi-racial/interracial honey bees. What could possibly go wrong?

The European bees would die during sex.

Hybrid bees would have nothing on the Giant Japanese Death Hornet.

Giving it Nicotine-based poison would likely just piss it off.

Japanese Giant Hornets are so dangerous primarily because they know Karate.

The are distant relatives of Godzilla.

Being an agoraphobic adrenaline junkie would be pretty convenient, because you could get your rush from just going to the store to get some milk instead of having to jump off a mountain or out of an airplane.

they also call me "balloon"
