It’s BACK!

the rage in the early 70’s was the disappearance of the honey bee.

I thought they were all gone already.

They were doing ok until the FDA ok’d a pesticide which is killing all the bees.

A pesticide which is persistent and has a long half life. Meaning it will survive in the soil for years (estimated to exceed 19 yrs) after its used. Its also cumulative so each spraying simply increases the impact.

I don’t let carpenter bees on the property unless they show proof of coverage.
