Bee Colony Collapse around the world is being blamed on the use of Neonics..  or neonicotinoid..   This is a Systemic poison that invades the whole plant, including the flowers and the fruit.

The result is that Flowers and their pollen, become poison to pollinators..  Bees collect the pollen and return to hives, poisoning the whole hive.. 

Whilst this is no different to other products like CONFIDOR, and many others, the typical home gardener will have no awareness of calamity they release when they use these products..

To understand more, have a read of the following

RichGro, has now brought a convenient powder that can be spread around the garden, and as it is drawn into the plant, it kills ALL insects, including our Pollinating Bees..  both Native bees and Honey Bees..!

I would like to see this Bug-Killer product banned, along with CONFIDOR and other Neonics chemicals, or in the very lease, that manufacturers be required to provide a product warning -- "This Product Kills Bees"

Show your support for our bees by signing this petition and we can send a message to both users and manufacturers and just perhaps, the Government will even move to force labeling of such products with warnings..  just like Cigarettes
