    So what does the stuff actually do?

    In the beginning he says it doesn’t help much

    Then he brings up my initial thought why did they put it in the water rather than in the feed.

    But he explains that.

    So what exactly is this stuff on there for?
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    "Neonicotinoids are a group of insecticides used widely on farms and in urban landscapes. They are absorbed by plants and can be present in pollen and nectar, making them toxic to bees." Wacks in ground nasties too.

    Was widely used up here in Bean and Corn seed treatment. I reckon the bees oughta know better than do the pollen and nectar thing in treated fields. I mean usually there is some kinda signage.

    Honey bees are an invasive species anyway. Who needs 'em.

    Neonicotinoids are derived from neon, nicotine, and hemmroids
