All mono crops are good for the beekeeper but bad for the bees.  You have to decide.

Sounds like the nectar from this cotton might bee very toxic to our bees. The plants are producing theirs own toxins to kill nematodes and bacteria. Not good for our bees.

Jim I have posted here before; A few years ago you could drive in the MIssissippi River Delta at night and splattered buggs would cover your car and windshield. It's not like that now.
