Catmint20906 said: nurseries drenching their plants in pesticides before putting them out to sell. Sad Now, I prefer going to the nurseries that feature native plants and have bees and butterflies flying among their stock. :-)


Neonicotinoids are SYSTEMIC pesticides and have been found in "bee friendly" plants sold at Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart and Sam's club. Neonics STAY IN THE PLANT. So people are trying to do something GOOD for the pollinators are KILLING them because of the deception.
