Neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides that are chemically similar to nicotine. While they have been widely used in agriculture, they have also been linked to several environmental and ecological concerns including causing harm to bees and other pollinators. Studies have shown that exposure to even low levels of neonicotinoids can impair bees' ability to forage, navigate, and reproduce.
Absolutely NO neonicotinoids, nor similar chemicals, are used at the facilities where the Garden for Wildlife line of plants are grown. (In addition to not having our plants directly sprayed with these chemicals, we cannot risk exposure from atmospheric drift.)
