In suburbia, I'd expect significant levels of lawn chem pollution in

That's correct. Before gasoline was unleaded, we picked up large amounts
of lead in bees near highways. On east coast, in urban areas, solvents,
dry cleaning chemicals, breakdown of gasoline and diesel, styrenes and
plasticizers were common. In Seattle, the bees had higher brood loses in the
'rich' neighborhoods, probably because of lawn services and the chemicals used
to keep everything green, pretty.
