I note that Dave Goulson takes issue with the BBKA
The leaflet goes on to say that “Provided that garden care products are used as directed on the label, they will not pose a problem to bee health.”
So who produced this wildly misleading leaflet? The Crop Protection Association, the Horticultural Trades Association, and the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA). The first two come as no surprise; these are essentially wings of the agrochemical industry, pushing their poisons as usual. But the BBKA? Really? Shame on you.
