A quick glance at
Laura Leslie’s piece tells me that
House Bill 363,
titled the Pollinator Protection Act can only help
bees and other pollinators in NC. If enacted, this bill will:
·
result in about 25 percent reduction of neonicotinoid
pesticide use
·
require the North Carolina Pesticide Board to study
the long-term costs and benefits of neonicotinoids
·
will put NC in step with 18 other states that have
taken similar action, including Maryland, Connecticut and Minnesota in 2016 This Bill is sponsored by a formerly active beekeeper, Rep.
Chuck
McGrady.
Let’s give it our enthusiastic support! Pakis, Durham NC

had to take classes & get certified. Way overdue! 😍🐝
