Hi and thanks for writing your article! You know, bees are in danger right now. A Canadian team of scientists have concluded over a 25 year study in 2017 that nicotinoids are causing reproduction issues. Also it was previously thought that insecticides which contains the nicotinoids, last a month. No, the toxicity to bees exists the entire duration of the growing season, making all insects exposed to the Nicotinoids in particular bees, seeing a minimum of a 25% reduction in next year's bee reproduction. That means the bees colonies are depleting. I'll make a post about this, but certainly we all should love bees. Without the bee, there is no food. Nicotinoids are nicotine based. We may have to ban them. I'll post a list of chemicals to avoid when making garden purchases. Thanks again for loving bees!
