Translated from the German, this document provides the reasoning behind the 2008 suspension of nicotine-based insecticides/pesticides in Germany, based on the severe honey bee losses in southwest Germany that year. Seed treatments were blamed for thoses incidents, including the losses reported in the film Nicotine Bees by German beekeepers Walter Haefeker and Karl-Rainer Koch.
