Unfortunately "Solved" is a bit of sensationalism on Reuters part. There is mounting evidence that neonicotinoid pesticides can and do have a negative effect on honey bee colonies, especially in relation to problems with navigation and communication. this has led to many countries banning them. CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder) has always been occurring in recorded history but appears the rates have skyrocketed since neonicotinoid pesticides have been introduced. So while I would say the evidence is compelling enough to potentially ban the use of these insecticides I would say they are more of a major part of the problem and not the sole driver.
