    Association vice-president Barry Foster said international studies had shown neonicotinoids induced chronic mortality in bees.
    The only thing that wont go away is that tabloid style of article with sensationalist claims and not a single supporting reference.

    Gavin posted a review of the existing science, international studies if you like, earlier today.
