Poll: Should we ban bee-killing pesticides?

Reporter Franklin County News

Hi all, Mitre 10 have followed the example set by Bunnnings and will be phasing out all pesticides containing bee-killing neonicotinoids from its 82 nationwide stores from November.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
