“I was surprised – even the experts in California were surprised – that they were using insecticides during pollination,” Johnson said.

Hmmm, not keeping up with the latest buzz.

We need to bee more aware of the hazards to our pollinating friends.

My parents used to winter down below Tampa where a lot of the fruits and veggies are grown. My mom told me how one day they were traveling somewhere in the orange growing area when all of a sudden their entire windshield was covered in dead honey bees! Seems an orange grower had had a bunch of beehives brought in to pollinate the orange trees and whomever had brought the hives had sat them out along a major highway! About the dumbest thing I’ve heard of in years!
