Ornamental plant nurseries — with their high concentration of different flowers — are an important food source for pollinators. In fact, University of California (UC), Riverside entomologists Jacob Cecala and Erin E. Wilson Rankin counted more than 150 species of wild bees at nurseries in California alone.

Despite this, very little research has been done on how the pesticides often used at plant nurseries impact these crucial insects.

Generally speaking, this has been known already long time. Mass production/farming and all chemicals which have been used are bad for bees. Just needs common sense: Insects have no lungs, they ''breath'' through their bodies.

Organic farming is quite different. No chemicals are used and we have wild flowers fields around our farm and fields.

Alone bumblebees, we have today several types here.

What comes to natural wild flowers, we have noticed that bees especially likes clovers (which produces lots of nectars). So we have red clovers, white clovers, golden clovers, brown clovers, zigzag clovers and alsike clovers.

In the end it is question, what kind of food one likes to buy and eat.
