Because I am both a bee lover and a gardener, the news that many
nursery plants have been treated with neonicotinoids was dismaying.
Have I been buying nursery plants for my garden only to poison my
local bees?<br>
<br>
I contacted Proven Winners because many of the annuals and
perennials I buy have been raised by them. They pointed me to this
page, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.provenwinners.com/Bees">https://www.provenwinners.com/Bees</a> <br>
<br>
So I am assuming that Proven Winners uses systemic pesticides to
keep their product "hole free."<br>
<br>
I contacted Michigan U about the page and the reference is indeed
from them.<br>
<br>
Now I don't know whether to be puzzled or angry. The neonicotinoid
subject resembles a climate change/no climate change argument. What
is the public to do if they wish to help not hurt bees.<br>
