some abbreviated snips from Mr Oliver...
she worked with John Trumble at Riverside, and found toxic
selenium concentrations in plants in the San Joaquin Valley).

The study found a surprising amount of pesticide residues, esp. neonics, in
native bees collected from grasslands, which are commonly considered as
pollinator reserves.

my question..
since most (certainly in some since all) of these agricultural sprays are now water soluble what would be the least bit surprising about this conclusion?  do you think products like this are tightly locked to the exact area of their use?
