Neonicotinoid pesticides are causing significant damage to a wide range of beneficial species and are a key factor in the decline of bees, say scientists. Researchers, who have carried out a four-year review of the literature, say the evidence of damage is now conclusive. The scientists say the threat to nature is the same as that once posed by the notorious chemical DDT. Manufacturers say the pesticides are not harming bees or other species. Just once, I would like to read that a business or industry group said that the science is correct,that their product is causing more harm than good. bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-27980344
