Bayer has scientists who know this too.
Bayer should be held responsible.
Is the EPA to blame for the collapse of honey bee colonies?

The
political appointees at EPA in 2003 allowed Bayer to receive a
license for Poncho, a pesticide containing Clothianidin, despite the official judgment of EPA scientists that
Clothianidin was “highly toxic to bees by contact and oral exposure” and
that is was “highly mobile in soil and groundwater - very likely to
migrate into streams, ponds and other fields, where it would be absorbed
by wildflowers” - and go on to kill more bees and non-target insects
like butterflies and bumblebees. We began seeing the collapse of bee colonies in 2004.
