Pesticides, Not Mites, Cause Honeybee Colony Collapse

5. Enjoy your non sequitur.

On edit: this study has abso-fucking-lutely nothing to do with Roundup, nor is there any indication that CCD has anything to do with Roundup, let alone the pesticides tested. This is a bad study and is being appropriately ridiculed by experts in the appropriate fields.

For one thing, there is little plausibility for it. Australia has been using neonicotinoids for a long time, yet has no bee colony collapse disorder. This is highly suggestive that it is of a biological origin and not due to anything humans are doing with pesticides, especially neonicotinoids which are in common use Down Under. As Australia is an isolated continent, this data point is highly suggestive that CCD is biological, a parasite or disease.

Now one can run around blindfolded with fingers in ones ears screaming "Is not! Is not," all one wants. But the data points away from neonicotinoids as a direct cause of CCD. This study is flawed.

One does not get to make shit up in science no matter how much one hates pesticides.
