U.S. honeybee colonies hit a 20-year high
Can you be more specific about what these toxins are, and how it's known that they kill bees or cause cancer over a period of twenty years?

Do they actually die as a result, or just continue living somewhere else? Because if the problem is just that beekeepers lose them, that doesn't seem so bad as if it actually decimated them.
