“We did send a clear signal that we’re following the science on this,” McCarthy said. “We have made some decisions recently that even the pollinator advocates, or the folks who care about this, think we did a very good job on. We’re taking these neonics one at a time because we’re going to follow the science one at a time. And we’re not going to take an easy solution and say it’s all about neonicotinoids, it really isn’t, we know that pollinator health is a variety of factors, and we’re looking at those and we’re judging one pesticide at a time.”
