Is there any reason these beekeepers can't sue Bayer and the EPA for the side effects of the pesticides? Couldn't such a suit call for an injunction preventing its use pending the results of the lawsuit?

They did sue Bayer in 2003, though for a different drug. The suit was thrown out by a judge in 2008.

Bayer gets sued all the time and they are probably pretty good at working the legal system.
