'If' I've heard right, something called neonicotinoids (sp) are to be
banned. Does anyone know what products will disappear from garden centre

This was covered in some detail on yesterday's "Countryfile" (available
on BBC iPlayer). There is a lot of research going on, the majority of
which has yet to be concluded.
Even a bee-keeper on the programme - who you might expect would want
them banned just in case - said very sensibly that he just wanted to
know one way or the other whether or not neonicotinoids were causing
problems for his bees.
