[1] and [2] are WP:MEDRS reviews which discuss human reproductive toxicity. EllenCT ( talk) 23:03, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
I see one use of the word "neonicontinoids". (Note the "n" immediately before the "t".) Is that the correct spelling of something different from "neonicotinoid" or an acceptable alternate spelling of "neonicotinoid" or just a misspelling? I suspect it's just a misspelling, but I'm not sure. So I want to ask before making an edit. This is in 7.1 Toxicity > Bees: "Two studies published in Nature provided further evidence of the deleterious effect of neonicontinoids on bees..."-- Kjs04032 ( talk) 01:36, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
I plan to remove this sentence currently in the section on "bees":
"In general, however, despite the fact that many laboratory studies have shown the potential for neonicotinoid toxicity, the majority of field studies have found only limited or no effects on honey bees." [[ this citation]]
While in 2015, perhaps this may have been a reasonable citation and sentence, nearing 2022, this generalization ("In general") now seems to take on an overly editorial ("however", "found only limited or no effects") tone on this controversial subject under great public scrutiny and very active research since then.
For example, the citation's latest reference was 2015 and was too early to include later research and review such as this 2017 article in Science ( DOI: 10.1126/science.aam7470) or others.

Needs better integration with existing sections
