Neonicotinoids aren't just used in agriculture -- unbeknownst to consumers, many “bee friendly” garden plants sold at home garden centers have been pre-treated with these bee killing pesticides which can contaminate their gardens and keep harming bees and other pollinators for months to years. A new, first-of-its-kind pilot study by Friends of the Earth-US and Pesticide Research Institute has found 54% of common garden plants purchased at top retailers including Lowes and Home Depot contained neonicotinoid pesticides, which studies show can harm or kill bees and other pollinators, with no warning to consumers.
