Related: About this forumMinnesota Senate pulls back on pollinator protection
http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-senate-pulls-back-on-pollinator-protection/303790251/The new provision modifies a law passed in 2014, which said that plant nurseries could not market plants as bee- and butterfly-friendly if they are grown with the controversial class of pesticides called neonicotinoids. That class of pesticides has been implicated in the global decline of honeybees and other insects.
When the bees start dying people are not far behind. When did lying become acceptible to enact? What is worse is that this is the Senate. They usually think more before they do things.
