In an effort to protect our bee population, don't purchase pesticides labelled as neonicotinoids! Bayer CropScience is a leading manufacturer, but other brands are on the market as well. These "neonicotinoids," are produced from a synthetic chemical based on nicotine. Used nearly everywhere, from golf courses to cornfields to your own front yard, they are thought to be much safer for humans and animals than other pesticides. However, research is showing that these pesticides are still toxic enough to kill insects.

When bees suffer, so do we! Lower quality produce at much higher prices? NO THANK YOU!
