of the neonicotinoids that are most highly toxic to bees and used on ornamentals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">For example, this label for Safari (dinotefuran) explicitly says:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The label is the law, so if this was applied to linden trees in March of this year, it would be an illegal application.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There were so many bumble bees in the area.....this is good news from bad. I think we often in our minds underestimate the true number of bees in an area. Here we are in average suburbia with lots of development and have this many bumble
bees at one place. When sampling bees we never reach anywhere this number under any circumstance I have seen. Thus we have to wonder how representative some of our low number samples might be, with the notion that we need to probably err on higher capture
rates in our studies rather than lower.<o:p></o:p></p>
