,,. THIS IS THE REAL TRUTH.....the guys below are just touching the tip of the ice berg with their opinions and some facts ,blaming talc andsuch ,,. it really is not the talc graphite dust as much as it is the chemical that gets comingled with it from the seed corn !,.. serveral years ago , it was pointed out on this forum ,...CLOTHINDYNIM IS BEING PLACED ON CORN SEED TO CONTROL ROOTWORM and other pests ,.. cloythindiynim(spelling) is what is killing the bees ,along with rootworms that come from continuous corn ,. my neighbors bees on both sides of the BTO 's corn fields cannot keep a colony over 2 yrs ...they keep spending money and replacing their bees..the science worx like this,,. the corn plant takes the clothyindanym into its root structure to deter rootworm pests,. also clothydynim is taken upinto the plant and is evident in the pollination stage ,. bees pollinate the corn , and become minutely contaminated ,one carrying the poison back to the hive is survivable,,. but hundreds of contaminated workers in a hive is a slow death of the entire hive, they will not survive til spring,..if the beekeepers replace the bees in the old contaminated hives , then the residual kills the new bees,.. they must come back with new hives.... the seed co.s refuse to acknowledge blame ,, and are far more powerful than the beekeepers, when it comes to getting congress to listen ... for that same reason , some guys are gonna blast my comments..., but the bees are gonna die if the seed companies keep coating the seeds , it used to be that you paid 5-10 bux extra for rootworm protection option.. now all co.s are presently coating their seed ,,. it is really not a needed chemical for those that wisely rotate crops ...
