  • Ban the chemicals now i say, agro chemical companies want quick bucks, they couldent care less about the damage or consequences of chemical toxicity.
  • Thanks for all your comments. Me too, obelixx. Great to hear so many of you are seeing bees and butterflies out. Hope they have a good year.

      Hi   

     As i only grow flowers i dont use any poisons, and i detest slug pellets.

     I blame them for the lack of song thrush, i used to see lots 15 years ago

    now i have to go to the fields to see one!

     

     

     

     

  • Like most people, I am not in a postion to talk about the bee pollination aspect.With regard the pesticide side, they  are not used lightly as are very expensive. One use is as Frontline for domestic animals! Perhaps the ban will impact people in ways not envisaged?

    They are often used for  the difficult pests like mealy bug & vine weavils which are difficult to target.
