Comment Comment by ars Maybe it's a poorly written summary, but I see no link.I see findings of insecticide, and I see bee deaths, but I see no finding of a link - I don't even see a correlation.To show a correlation you have to compare rates of bee deaths in various locations, and rates of insecticide use. Then establish they move together.Even that is not a link, but it's something. To actually establish a link you have to manipulate insecticide usage and watch bee deaths change. parent ars 15 years ago
