Canada's health agency announced Wednesday restrictions on the use of neonicotinoid pesticides in agriculture to protect aquatic insects, backtracking on a proposed outright ban prompted by a massive bee die-off.

Health Canada had proposed in 2018 prohibiting the use of clothianidin and thiamethoxam, two of three neonicotinoid pesticides widely applied to crops in this country.

But after a re-evaluation of scientific data including new water monitoring data, and 47,000 public submissions, the agency said in a statement it found "some uses do not pose a risk to aquatic insects, while other uses do pose risks of concern."

3. An outright ban on neonicotinoids is basically a ban on (all ) commercial insecticides.

If you are happy with that - fine - but understand what it means.

4. Keep fucking with nature, people. It will only come back to bite you.

And when it does, there won't be a vaccine that will cure it.
