real nice. Apply a systemic pesticide on orange while the fruit is on the
tree ready for harvest. Last time the citrus industry was able to keep the
aldicarb in oranges quiet I have been told.
The FDA can't find the source of our tomato or ground beef problems so why
would we think they would find aldicarb in oranges and orange juice.

It sure would be a shame if a lab report on aldicarb in orange juice would
find its way into the media. .
Another solution would be to not produce orange blossom honey. I have heard
from a few migratory beeks which are dropping moving into orange until the
temick issue is resolved.
I have heard from beeks which limped out of the orange groves last spring.
The growers told said beeks that they used temick but the label said temick
was safe around bees.
