Question: Between Restrepo and Vanishing of the Bees, which film suggests a link between neonicotinoid pesticides and CCD?
Context: SWINE is a film written and directed by film-makers and campaigners Robbie Lockie and Damien Clarkson.  The film is their first collaboration under the name Growing Box Co. and it has been commissioned by the charity Viva!  (Viva!  or Vegetarians' International Voice for Animals, is a British animal rights group) as part of their ongoing campaign 'FaceOff'.  The film suggests we are sleepwalking into a superbug pandemic.  The film will be released online on 7 July 2016 and there will be a London screening. Restrepo is a 2010 American documentary film about the Afghanistan war, directed by American journalist Sebastian Junger and British photojournalist Tim Hetherington. Vanishing of the Bees is a 2009 documentary film by Hive Mentality Films & Hipfuel Films, directed by George Langworthy and Maryam Henein and released in the United Kingdom in October 2009.  The story is centered on the sudden disappearance of honey bees from beehives around the world, caused by the poorly understood phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder or CCD.  Although the film does not draw any firm scientific conclusions as to the precise cause or causes of CCD, it does suggest a link between neonicotinoid pesticides and CCD. Dinotefuran is an insecticide of the neonicotinoid class developed by Mitsui Chemicals for control of insect pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, leafhoppers, leafminers, sawflies, mole cricket, white grubs, lacebugs, billbugs, beetles, mealybugs, and cockroaches on leafy vegetables, in residential and commercial buildings, and for professional turf management.  Its mechanism of action involves disruption of the insect's nervous system by inhibiting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.  In order to avoid harming beneficial insects such as bees, it should not be applied during bloom. Jeffery Stuart Pettis is an American born biologist and entomologist known for his extensive research on honeybee behavior.  He is currently the research leader at the United States Department of Agriculture's Beltsville Bee Laboratory (BBL).  His research has led to significant breakthroughs in understanding and managing CCD, a primary cause of North American bee population decline.  He is also known for discovering with Dennis vanEngelsdorp of Pennsylvania State University the ability of bees to detect pesticides and harmful fungi in collected pollen and subsequently quarantine the harmful substances from the rest of the hive.  His research has also studied the synergistic effects of Imidacloprid on bees, an insecticide derived from nicotine which has been shown to contribute to CCD. Pesticides vary in their effects on bees.  Contact pesticides are usually sprayed on plants and can kill bees when they crawl over sprayed surfaces of plants or other areas around it.  Systemic pesticides, on the other hand, are usually incorporated into the soil or onto seeds and move up into the stem, leaves, nectar, and pollen of plants. Bangkok Girl is a documentary film that was both produced and directed by Jordan Clark.  It is a low-budget film, having cost $10,000 to produce, and takes sex tourism in Bangkok as its subject.  "Bangkok Girl" is 43 minutes long and focuses on Pla, a bargirl who is 19 years old and who guides Clark through the city.  The film explores Pla's background and how she came to be where she is.  Pla began working as a bargirl at the age of 13, and, while she had managed to avoid being forced into prostitution up until the point that the documentary was filmed, the film suggests that she will eventually be forcibly prostituted.  In November 2005, the film aired on "The Lens", a program on Canada's CBC Television.  Sweden's Sveriges Television also aired the film. The Multi-spectral solar telescope array, or MSSTA, was a sounding rocket payload built by Professor A.B.C. Walker, Jr. at Stanford University in the 1990s to test EUV/XUV imaging of the Sun using normal incidence EUV-reflective multilayer optics.  MSSTA contained a large number of individual telescopes (> 10), all trained on the Sun and all sensitive to slightly different wavelengths of ultraviolet light.  Like all sounding rockets, MSSTA flew for approximately 14 minutes per mission, about 5 minutes of which were in space—just enough time to test a new technology or yield "first results" science.  MSSTA is one of the last solar observing instruments to use photographic film rather than a digital camera system such as a CCD.  MSSTA used film instead of a CCD in order to achieve the highest possible spatial resolution and to avoid the electronics difficulty presented by the large number of detectors that would have been required for its many telescopes. Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is the phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen.  While such disappearances have occurred throughout the history of apiculture, and were known by various names (disappearing disease, spring dwindle, May disease, autumn collapse, and fall dwindle disease), the syndrome was renamed colony collapse disorder in late 2006 in conjunction with a drastic rise in the number of disappearances of western honey bee ("Apis mellifera") colonies in North America.  European beekeepers observed similar phenomena in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, Switzerland and Germany, albeit to a lesser degree, and the Northern Ireland Assembly received reports of a decline greater than 50%. Clothianidin is an insecticide developed by Takeda Chemical Industries and Bayer AG.  Similar to thiamethoxam and imidacloprid, it is a neonicotinoid.  Neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides that are chemically similar to nicotine, which has been used as a pesticide since the late 1700s.  Clothianidin and other neonicotinoids act on the central nervous system of insects as an agonist of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates nAChR, targeting the same receptor site (AChR) and activating post-synaptic acetylcholine receptors but not inhibiting AChE.  Clothianidin and other neonicotinoids were developed to last longer than nicotine, which is more toxic and which breaks down too quickly in the environment.  However, studies published in 2012 show that neonicotinoid dust released at planting time may persist in nearby fields for several years and be taken up into non-target plants, which are then foraged by bees and other insects.
