Tree hugger alert
There is little truly objective evidence that neonics cause colony collapse. Plenty of correlation for certain but no mechanism and no proof. It is true that there are big business interests at stake, but that isn't the whole story.
Remember that neonics merely mimic the chemicals produced naturally by plants to protect themselves from insect pests. The alternative to neonics would be to go back to traditional pesticides for which there is PLENTY of evidence of severe damage to the environment.
As usual, it is more complex a problem than the green lobby are painting it.

Isn't it obvious that insecticides kill insects?
