PARIS ‹ The European Commission will enact a two-year ban on a class of
pesticides thought to be harming global bee populations, the European
Union¹s health commissioner said Monday.

yep, just saw that come across the BBC too.

now this will be an actual two year field
study being done.

and unfortunately the pesticide persists
in the environment, so there may be a deeper
cleaning of beehives needed (replacing the
wax frames with pesticide free wax).

should be interesting to see what happens.
