Howdy all,
I found this picture (post) while cruising through facebook today. This is taking the whole bayer cracked science to a whole new level!
Please see the attached picture of their new "free bee seeds" marketing idea:
Bayer Crop Science are now offering FREE SEEDS FOR BEES with their product 'Ultimate Bug Killer'
Here is a link to this new products -(NOT so genius) marketing idea.
Their own words:
"Fast acting, contact and systemic action insecticide for long-lasting control" - "Suitable for use on all outdoor ornamental trees and shrubs, selected vegetables, fruit and greenhouse crops" REALLY?
** Please just check out their own picture: blueberries, raspberries, peppers, strawberries, black eyed susan's, etc.
To bad for the bees and other pollinators, they ALSO visit a lot of the ornamental trees, lots of shrub varieties and hundreds of vegetable and fruit varieties!! So let me get this "marketing idea" straight...plant free seeds that are geared toward attracting the bees and then spray the shit out of them! Sounds like a lovely idea! NOT! and this is the company trying to go around and promote their "save the bees" plan?
This level of bold, in your face we do not care for the bees action is going to far. That's all i can say as kids might be looking on.
