Termites eat wood to derive the cellulose and nutrients they need to live. Termites have protozoa and bacteria in their gut that allow them to break down the cellulose fibers inwood, which is difficult for other creatures to digest.

They like the dark mositure found in wood as well & will die if exposed to sunlight to long. The only nutrient I've read they need is cellulose, which has already been pointed out. The protozoa breaks the cellulose into sugar & is what they need to survive. They apparently leave a chemical trail for other termites & most kinds of termites prefer decaying wood because of the fungi that is already on the wood.

Termites can survive solely on water; however cellulose is the best source of nutrients for their diet. Termites will eat any type of wood, as long as the wood is dead, and most houses have plenty of dead wood for termites to feast on. Stumps, mulch, and other wood debris are a perfect meal for a hungry termite

Marketed by European chemical giants Syngenta and Bayer, nonionic are the most used pesticide both in the United States and globally. In 2009, the agency commenced a long, slow process of reassessing them—not as a class, but rather one by one. Meanwhile, tens of millions of acres of farmland are treated with neonics each year, and the health of US honeybee hives continues to be dismal.
The EPA’s long-awaited assessment focused on how one of the most prominent neonics Bayer’s imidacloprid, affects bees. The report card was so dire that the EPA could potentially take action to restrict or limit the use of the chemical by the end of this year, an agency spokesperson wrote in an emailed statement.
Reviewing dozens of studies from independent and industry-funded researchers, the EPA’s risk-assessment team established that when bees encounter imidacloprid at levels above 25 parts per billion—a common level for neonics in farm fields—they suffer harm. “These effects include decreases in pollinators as well as less honey produced,” the EPA’s states.
The crops most likely to expose honeybees to harmful levels of imidacloprid are cotton and citrus, while “corn and leafy vegetables either do not produce nectar or have residues below the EPA identified level.”

I know you don't want copy & paste, so let me word this the best I can...

Imidacloprid is a very popular insecticide & has been for a long time, but has stirred up a lot of shit with those out there in the US that are trying to maintain healthy bee colonies. Apparently, this isn't just a US problem either because Europe has noticed a decline in there bee colonies as well, since the use of Imidacloprid. Obviously, this could affect the flow of natural honey, with the decline of bee colonies. It's been regulated in many countries, but is still being used & many consider it a shady business. It sounds to me like everything else... it's all about money!! The pesticide industry is probably pulling in more cash, so the bee farmers are just going to have to deal with it.
