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.
