- Subject: [ocba] NEW pollinator plant study

Hey All,
Here is a link to a new study (in the first paragraph) that shows a detailed look into the pollinator plants being sold at local box stores and hardware stores (lowes and home depot).
For years we have been asking folks to plant more "bee food" sadly, we did not know they were being treated w/ insecticides!
What a twisted and frustrating discovery. This new study is a more detailed one to the earlier discovery in late 2013. Its now definitive...big retailers are selling toxic "pollinator" plants folks think they are getting to help the bees.
Please shop wisely and support local farms or nurseries!
thanks!
marty
