  1. One big thing is I would suggest writing your summary with capital letters at the beginning of your sentences. Four is supposed to be with a lowercase f because it isn't a proper noun. Keep the font and color consistent because "contained measurable levels of at least one of five common neonicotinoids," is obviously copied and pasted. On another hand, you never really describe how you feel about the article, so I don't know really how to comment. Now that you can correct your grammar and writing, let's talk about the whole honey bee pesticide problem.
    Honey bees are technically invasive species of North America, but however they have turned out to do well and help pollinate many plant life. A lot of people in North America end up buying some honey for it's medicinal help and deliciousness, but the background of how we get the honey is sad. We shouldn't change our methods to not need to used nicotine-based pesticides, like Neonicotinoid. I don't agree with using the pesticides because it could lead to major consequences. My final thought is that your blog of the current event truthfully sounds like the plot in the "Bee Movie" where the big honey company used nicotine based smoke to get the honey bees' honey.
