Major Pest Control Company Announces A Huge Change To Protect Bees

In an effort to better protect the planet's most important pollinators, pest control company Ortho says it will remove from its products a class of chemicals thought to be linked to declining bee populations.

The company, a division of Scotts Miracle-Gro, said in an announcement Tuesday it would "immediately begin to transition away from the use of neonicotinoid-based pesticides for outdoor use."
