Talking to Neighbors About Pesticide Use and Your Bees

Over the years we've learned that when bee-raisers have a neighbor that sprays chemicals for a "perfect lawn" the bees will fly away in search of chemical-free nesting areas. To help you "bee" successful, we've compiled a pamphlet and a brochure you can print and share with your neighbors.

We have a next-door neighbor (elderly man) who has the spraying bundled into his lawn care for decades now. And the elderly woman across the street does it, too. It's so toxic. We plan to move and buy acreage with a homestead so we don't have to deal with it anymore. They are old school and not willing to stop. They don't have flowers, so they don't care about pollinators or their food supply. They just like the lawn service pitch that it will reduce the insects inside their homes. The lawn spraying needs to be banned globally. It's carcinogenic, kills our pollinators, and taints our water supply.
