Box tree moth, <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Cydalima perspectalis</span></em>, has been confirmed in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee. Although the box tree moth is native to East Asia,
 the recent spread likely comes from an Ontario shipment of nursery plants. Unfortunately, the Tennessee location where the moth was found is a distribution center. Keep a lookout for the moth and it’s larvae, which can kill boxwood plants through defoliation

Sulfuryl fluoride is a structural and commodity fumigant. It is important for the control of pests such as drywood termites, wood boring insects, bed bugs, and cockroaches in structures and buildings. Sulfuryl fluoride is also valuable for protecting commodities

Careful consideration is needed to determine whether honey bees should be established in public areas. While honey bee apiaries do support agricultural production and help raise awareness of native pollinator concerns, these non-native pollinators may still
 bring challenges for native pollinators, such as disease threats or competition for nectar and pollen resources. Recommendations are for decisions to be made on a case by case basis with thought to the location’s unique characteristics.<br>

While honey bees can help pollinate crops, especially if native pollinator populations have declined, adding an apiary does not directly benefit pollinators. Honey bees are not native to North America, and there is a chance that they will spread disease or
 even take pollen and nectar resources from native bees. While adding a honey bee hive is a great hobby with sweet rewards, you can help native pollinators by simply adding a flower garden and including a few native plant species.<br>
