Germany Suspends Nicotine-based Pesticide Products

Submitted by Pierre Terre on March 3, 2010 - 13:54

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.

Dr. Neil Carman: The Case for Neonicotinoid Insecticides as a Prime Mover in CCD

Submitted by Pierre Terre on March 3, 2010 - 13:17

Dr. Neil Carman of The Sierra Club presents compelling evidence that nicotine-based insecticides (neonicotinyls or neonicotinoids) are the prime-mover causal agent of the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) phenomenon in honebee die-offs. Presented at the the American Honey Producers Association (AHPA) 2010 meeting in Sacramento, California.

Sierra Club Press Release: "We urge the American public to view the outstanding documentary entitled Nicotine Bees"

Submitted by Anonymous on December 28, 2009 - 17:35

Laurel Hopwood, Chair, Sierra Club Genetic Engineering Action Team said of the film:

"We urge the American public to view the outstanding documentary entitled Nicotine Bees. Producers-Directors Kevin Hansen and Krista Keenan did a superb job researching, interviewing and splicing together an extraordinary story on the CCD problem. We suggest showing the 45-minute film at organizational meetings, home parties, classrooms and community events.

Bravo! Nicotine Bees is an outstanding documentary (by Dr. Neil Carman)

Submitted by Anonymous on December 28, 2009 - 17:27


"The producers did their homework - spending two years researching, interviewing an impressive group of individuals and splicing an extraordinary story together on the CCD problem.

Nicotine Bees exposes issues that other bee documentaries missed, with clear evidence of causal links and firm statements from experts who have not previously spoken out. Every school and library should have a copy of Nicotine Bees!" Neil Carman, Ph.D.
