bees and box store plants

 The following is circulating on Facebook today, spread about by beekeepers of my acquaintance. Thoughts, dear garden writers?


<<<<<< 

GARDENERS BEWARE: Many of the plants you buy at Home Depot and Lowe's may be treated with bee-killing neonictinoids. Because there's no clear labeling, many good-intentioned gardeners end up poisoning the very bees they are trying to help! http://ow.ly/xakJk (*Home Depot has indicated it is working on safer alternatives, but Lowe's has not yet responded).

 That's just one of the many things you'll learn from our fascinating photo essay featuring beekeepers and experts! Check it out >> http://ow.ly/xakJk  The more you learn, the more you can help protect our bees!
