C.B. is wiorried at urban bees collecting pesticides from neigbouring gardens. 
Surely few if any pesticides are spayed onto flowers.  Its mostly on veg or developing fruit, post flowering.  But if nasties are being used, what about an awareness campaign with the local garden centre?   That's how farmers were persauded to stop spraying crops in flower.
