inorganic arsenicals Apply ONLY during late evening, night, or early morning on blooming crops or weeds. Amino Triazoje (amitrole) Can be applied at any time with reasonable safety to bees. Alar (daminozide)
CAUTION: Timing of insecticide applications in respect to bee poisoning hazard can be drastically modified by abnormal weather conditions. If temperatures are unusually low following treatment, residues on the crop typically remain toxic to bees about twice as long as during reasonably warm weather. Conversely, if abnormally high temperatures occur during late evening or early morning, bees may actively forage on the treated crop during these times. !Warning. Use pesticides with care.
