"Dropping pesticides also allows for other pollinators...various other types of bees and butterflies, as well as hummingbirds."
Now that you mention it you dont see as many butterflies around anymore.

"Now that you mention it you dont see as many butterflies around anymore."I've noticed this as well. They used to be everywhere, and now they seem to be very rare.

I've been ducking bees for the last two weeks around here. They certainly are territorial about my blooming orange and lemon trees. Have only seen a few butterflies so far this year.
If this decline of honeybees holds steady, a career of pollination management could hold remarkable rewards.
