imidacloprid

A popular insecticide used on farms across Canada has been shown to have dire effects on ground-nesting bees, according to new research from the University of Guelph.

Newly published research is providing more compelling evidence that a common insecticide is harming migratory birds.

Some species of North American hummingbirds are in severe decline and a British Columbia research scientist says one possible cause might be the same insecticide affecting honey bees.

Environmental groups say the Commons agriculture committee looking into a ban on imidacloprid is parroting industry lines while ignoring concerns about the pesticides.

Is the phasing-put of the largest selling "bee-killing" insecticide in Canada actually a victory for science and the environment, or a well-worn strategy to swell corporate coffers?

Environmental organizations are questioning the role of the pesticide industry in a House of Commons consultation on a proposed ban of a pesticide linked to the global decline of honeybees.
