steve_mass,
What else has been "indicated" in colony collapse?
Any suggestions on better means of controlling thrips?
For me a few streaks or speckles on flowers don't matter, but I don't sell daylilies for a living, and I don't spend thousands of dollars on the cost of growing them. Many on here do, and the public demands perfection I am sorry to say. Without bees, there may be no flowers, but I think positive scientific evident would be needed to prevent the use of these products, or at least something more than just "indicated", maybe soon science will provide that evidence. No one seems to have a definite answer on what the cause or causes of colony collapse actually are.
I am sure all the people here are concerned, they just don't have any other answers right now.
