Neonicitinoid insecticides have been proved by an increasing body of referred research to have chronic and lethal effects on bees and other pollinators.Being systemic, small concentrations of neonicotinoids are found in both pollen and nectar of treated crops.,Compelling evidence has linked these insecticides to bee colony collapse disorder, bumblebee and caterpillars mortality, including the monarch butterfly. There is a strong correlation between the use of neonicotinoid concentrations and the decline of bird populations in Europe. We cannot afford to allow these insecticides to enter the environmental food chain and jeopardize national food security.
