Scurrilous, and bonkers. This is one of the best places for 'information'. It is the biased, unsubstantiated clap-trap that gets a rough ride here. It isn't suppressed, it is challenged.

Doris' book is propaganda of course. Chris' book is a fascinating read, but a slow read for someone with my level of French.

For those interested, there is a really careful review of French bee losses here in a report authored by some of the big names in the field. It is in both French and English and cuts through all the hype around, such as is found in Doris' book. There is the advantage that is it free and available on a computer near you.
