First of all, that was an interesting article. It makes sense that a
systemic insecticide would also be in the nectar and pollen.

Second, I would never think of the City Paper as a place to find real news.
That is where I used to go to read about the news of the wierd!

Imidacloprid worked for me to knock out the scale.

Did anyone know the French banned Imidacloprid in '99? When I think of
how many chemicals that have been removed from the market or had their
label changed to exclude greenhouse use and their recommended replacements
included imidacloprid it makes my head spin in a not very good way.
