7. Toxic Pesticides to Honey bees
There is information available to you about which pesticides are toxic to honey bees. Check your local sources for local information, as well as the states where honey bees are trucked in to pollinate crops. Do not rely on the pesticide label to protect honey bees and native pollinators.
