Protect the Bees!

What’s the best solution when you want healthy produce and healthy pollinators?

Bees and pollinators love your veggie blossoms and flowering herbs. Unfortunately, pests like whiteflies, thrips and aphids can infest, eat and lay eggs on or around these same plants, causing damage. Chemicals inhibit the potential for healthy pollinators in your gardens. So, what’s a gardener to do?

Use Beneficial Insects.

Buy beneficial insects at GSCO to eat these bad bugs and more! Check the refrigerators stocked with good bugs near the registers. We have gardeners on staff specializing in beneficial insects and organic gardening.

Always read the bug container directions to properly release ladybugs, lacewings, mantids, nematodes, earthworms and other helpful insects in your garden. In general, beneficial insects should be released at dusk and low to the ground. Keep your beneficial bugs hydrated and happy after dining on bad bugs by regularly watering your garden.
