If I plant flowers by crop-dusted fields am I planting death sentence to insects?

Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison suggests going to talk to your farmer neighbors and find out what they are spraying. Most applications are probably not insecticide. If you build a good relationship with the farmer, they will inform you if they are spraying something that might harm your bees and you can take preventative measures.
