> it's not a single cause, and will not be simple to fix, and is not just about the insecticides. Nevertheless, there is sufficient evidence indicating the insecticides as a substantial contributing factor that banning them seems a reasonable precaution. Once we do that, we can see how well the bees recover. It's certainly possible that banning neonicotinoids will not be sufficient, but the odds seem pretty good that it will be necessary -- perhaps one step of several. In short: don't confuse a scientific question with a public policy question. Sometimes the risk of not taking action outweighs the risk of acting on incomplete science.
