I am quite fearful about our future.
These pesticides are indiscriminate and are killing our pollinators.
They are also systemic, meaning they stay in the plant for a long time.
Commercial growers use them.
Flowering plants sold by Lowe's and Home Depot contain them.
EVEN THE PLANTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP THE BEES are commercially grown with this poison that remains in the plant and will KILL the bees. Those who are not killed off immediately also take the pollen back to the babies.
