>Jim Hock commented about lawn services in CN.


Two points of information:

1) Many years ago, a CN group studied reported bee kills in a variety of
settings, and found a that most of these bees had been exposed to several
pesticides (some of which may have been from persistent residuals,

2) About the same time, we looked at brood rearing success at about 200
locations in Seattle -- worst brood performance tended to be in the more
affluent suburb areas -- we suspected contract lawn services might have
been the deciding factor (e.g., poor folks may not spray as much or as often).
