ACSH friend and former trustee, Dr. Henry Miller of Stanford s Hoover Institution, has another of his typically-erudite and incisive op-eds, this one in today s Wall Street Journal. This has a wealth of bee-and-neonicotinoid-related information, all of which points to these twin dangers: 1)the lack of evidence for toxicity of neonicotinoid pesticides is about to be ignored by the Obama EPA, at the behest of anti-pesticide activists; 2) which would be bad enough, but the consequences of a proposed ban of neonics are likely to be disastrous for farmers, consumers, and our economy.
