Here we go then Neo Nicatinoids, banned by the EU due to their disastrous effects on bee colonies amongst other insects, have just been granted ‘emergency authorisation’ in the UK. Wow, it didn’t take long for economic interests to take advantage did it. Who cares about bees anyway. They are only crucial for one third of the world’s food.

Now, be sure to read the full chain in there. There are some very good links he's provided as well. I"m sure you wouldn't want to rely on just one source for your information, particularly if it were, say, the Guardian.

I have signed a petition to stop this despite being a Brexiteer. Still at least we are banning the export of live animals, which is a big plus Edited by Spiderman (11 Jan 2021 8.41am)

Genuine question what is the alternative for Beet farmers? I have read a couple of articles about why this should be banned but they don't say what our farmers should do instead.

Edited by Badger11 (11 Jan 2021 9.03am) Of course. If you know anything about me you could have assumed I had looked at the science. This is about yield. Yields are down due to virus yellows. It is also about relative harm. I have yet to be persuaded that the use of neonicatinoids is essential and is appropriate given the damage to the bee population - amongst others. To me profit is being put before sustainability. Either: 1. The UK is ahead of the game as it can move quickly and be flexible based on the science, or 2. The UK is breaking ranks with the EU for profit, including making sure there isn't a level playing field, regardless of the long-term harm.
