Ask Lowe's to label the plants in their Garden Centers that have been treated with Neonicotinoid pesticides. Neonicotinoids are harmful, and can be deadly, to bees, butterflies, and many pollinators.
Why is this important?
Neonicotinoid pesticides have been positively linked to Colony Collapse Disorder in bees and adversely affect the health of many other beneficial insects. Most of the plants in Lowe's garden centers have been treated with these dangerous chemicals. Customers do not have a reliable way to determine which plants are harmful to bees. If these treated plants were labelled, people could make informed decisions about what to plant in their landscape.
