Are City Flowers Safe for Bees?

Some city flowers are growing in soil with yucky stuff like lead and arsenic!

The flowers take in these poisons, and when bees eat the flower nectar, they get sick.

This makes the bees weak and can even cause bee populations to decrease.

So, before planting flowers, it's important to check if the soil is safe and clean for bees.
