« Is Varroa Destructor or Neonicotinoid Pesticides Responsible for Bee Health Decline?”

“At the outset of this memo, I posed the question “Is Varroa Destructor or Neonicotinoid Pesticides Responsible for Bee Health Decline?”
After reviewing the research, findings and statements of government science and regulatory agencies including USDA, US EPA, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries, the UK’s Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the UK’s Food and Environment Research Agency, we can now answer the question. The answer is that the key culprit behind bee health decline is varroa destructor.
