Re: Proposed Re-evaluation Decision PRVD2016-20, Imidacloprid. Please consider this an addendum to the OBA response to the Re-evaluation of Imidacloprid - Preliminary Pollinator Assessment REV2016-05. While the impetus of the current proposal to phase out Imidacloprid are the risks to aquatic insects, the OBA believes the proposal to phase out the use of Imidacloprid is equally important in its impact on insect pollinators and the Ontario beekeeping industry.
