What is killing bees are the neonicotinoids, a type of pesticide patented by Bayer. From: Jane MacRoss Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2014 4:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>CS in hummingbird nectar?
I never feed wild birds, I observe them at the flowers - still out here in late May, hovering under them for nectar - and others darting along the verandah removing the insects & spiders, and then some help themselves to dog food left in the bowl on the verandah overnight - I hear the 'ping' on the bowl of their beaks .... the parrots take the fruit and the kookaburras ... make enough noise but I don't know what they find here .... I would have thought humming birds would not have needed man manufactured sugar - isn't that what's killing the bees? Jane Subject: Re: CS>CS in hummingbird nectar? Their water containers in the wild are flowers, and pooled dew drops and other fresh bits of moisture that evaporate, rather than culture mold from sugar water going 'off'.
