Currently, for consumers, the only way to avoid synthetic pesticides is to eat organically grown food. Most children are exposed to pesticides either directly by consuming food with pesticide residues or indirectly through the placenta and breast milk, as a result of pesticides in their mothers’ food.

Bret Adee is one of the largest beekeepers in the US, with 2 billion bees across 55,000 hives.
