Bayer's clothianidin (brand name Poncho) — which is excreted in pollen — is particularly suspect, and beekeepers and environmentalists recently called on the EPA to pull the pesticide from the market.
The groups based their request on a leaked EPA memo [pdf], which questioned the validity of the study Bayer used to obtain approval of the pesticide.
Among the best articles I've ever before read through within this subject matter. Many thanks!
