Gardeners shopping for plants this spring at Bachman's nurseries will
find some new signs in the soil. The company will begin telling
customers which of its plants are safe for bees.
Bachman's is growing plants now at its Lakeville production center
that are free of neonicotinoid insecticide, a widely used treatment
that experts partly blame for the die-off of bee populations in
Minnesota and across the country in recent years.
Etc.
