Dr. Henk A. Tennekes in The Organic View Radio Show: The Catastrophic Effects of Neonicotinoids on Insects And Birds
Dr. Henk Tennekes has been involved with cancer research for most of his career. His work regarding bees began after reading an official report to the Dutch Minister of Agriculture on the decline of bees. He was amazed at the lack of information on insecticides as a possible factor in the bee decline. Dr. Tennekes then began to research the impact of neonicotinoid insecticides such as imidacloprid and clothianidin, and discovered that their dose:response characteristics are similar to those of carcinogens.
