Nearly all the pesticides that I come into contact with are prohibitive by
the label to be apply on or around blooming plants.  It was my understanding the
label law was federal, under DEP.  It was also my understanding that the
states could enact more restrictive rules, but not less.  How did MN come to over
ride the label law to begin with?
