Views: 534
Ben Hill Griffin Inc., one of Florida's largest citrus growers,
. . . has been found to have illegally used pesticides on its crops,
. . . state officials say, leading to the death of millions of bees.
Allegations assert that, in an incident earlier this year,
. . . prohibited insecticide 'Montana 2F' was sprayed on citrus groves
. . . to target the pest, Asian citrus psyllids,
. . . but that foraging honeybees were decimated in the process.
A second occasion involved the company spraying pesticides
. . . later in the day than is allowed, killing countless bees
. . . which were in the act of pollinating the citrus trees.
