(Question)
My husband wants to use Fiesta weed control on our lawn. Their website says its environmentally safe but I’d like to have non-bias opinion regarding it’s safely for the bees, please.
(Answer)
Fiesta is permitted under Ontario’s pesticide/herbicide ban and, unlike neonicotinoids, is not directly harmful to bees. However, it can have a detrimental effect on their health by eliminating flowering plants that they feed on such as clover and dandelions.
