Ontario is moving ahead with new regulations to dramatically reduce the number
of acres planted with corn and soybean seeds coated with a class of pesticides
known as neonicotinoids, which are toxic to bees. Close to 100 per cent of
Ontario's corn seeds and about 60 per cent of soybean seeds are treated with
neonicotinoids, figures the province wants to reduce by 80 per cent in just two
years. via
