colonies, also known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)?<BR>
___Yes ___No ___Uncertain<BR>
<BR>
Please provide citations for those studies that investigated<BR>
potential associations between declines in managed honeybee<BR>
populations and pesticides. Please list the pesticides studied.<BR>
<BR>
AND <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Is your country planning to invest in research that examines the<BR>
potential sub-lethal and/or indirect effects of pesticides on<BR>
pollinators?<BR>
___Yes ___No ___Uncertain<BR>
