Pollinator-friendly plants sold with a side of...pesticide!

[Chuck]

Well, removing the neonicotinold or nicotine products is a help, how about all of the others. I could list dozens of them. As long as the dollar is in charge nothing will change.

The woman at Ace Hardware assured me that pesticides are not used on any of their plants for sale. I've done a bit more searching, and I found this link, dated May 26, 2015.

Ace Hardware Commits to Action on Bee-Killing Pesticides

Beth_B, the article you linked to is dated August 16, 2016.
I also found this online petition you can sign to get Ace to stop using pesticides.

So someone is lying.

Petition

They want 292 more signatures. Correction: they want 291 more signatures!!

Thanks for linking that article. It's great that not only Ace but the other hardware stores are making a move away from pesticides. I thinking that they know they would end up cutting off their nose to spite their faces if they kept selling plants that killed their pollinators. It's just a pity that it took so long for science to win.
