A ban on neonicotinoids is not imminent but restrictions are being considered at EU level at this time. Bayer, Syngenta et al and the agriculture industry are doing their best to block/stall action, but I think some restrictions will be phased in over time. Whilst neonicotinoids are used in domestic products (a Bayer product that I have used in the past, Provado, comes to mind) the real problem is the large scale use of imidacloprid on cereal seeds - this is what is being cited as a primary cause of the decline in the bee population. -- rbel |
