Thats what I do in each yard. Wait till dark and spray away from the hives. Keeps me from having to weedeater around the hives....my bees hate the weedeater...they get nasty. Round-up solves the problemMany beekeepers use roundup right up to the hive to control grass and weeds.
and one treatment last pretty much all summerRoundup breaks down in the soil withing days of application, it's very safe.
Why do you "need" to kill these plants? Sit back and ask yourself what happens if you don't.Just wondering if I could weed kill a bunch of weeds along my creek. I do not have the weed kill on me atm. But I know that it is a concentrate, and it needs to be diluted. After it is mixed in water, it will be sprayed on the 3-foot tall weeds. The weeds will stay looking alive for about 3 days, then they will start wilting.
Because I'm spraying around 100 yards away from the hive, I don't think I'll have any problem with the weed kill floating around in the air, unless that is a big deal. (I have no experience with beekeeping whatsoever, and I'm expecting my nuc end of may.)
If anyone could give me some info that they know, it'll be greatly appreciated.

If it breaks down in a couple of days, how can it last pretty much all summer?and one treatment last pretty much all summer
Multiply that philosophy by a thousand and you see the problem. Eventually someone downstream from you drinks that water.But lets say I do get some weed kill in the water, what harm would that do? I think it would be so diluted that there will be no matter.
Corn gluten meal will have little/no effect on growing plants, that's why I can put it on the garden to kill germinating weeds without hurting vegetables.Try Corn meal gluten. not deadly to people animals or bugs and no problem about getting in the water.
It's not safe, does not break down, and this is not an appropriate use for it.Roundup breaks down in the soil withing days of application, it's very safe.
It's a hard fact: Roundup breaks down rapidly. I heartily agree on the need for a longer term solution.does not break down
Ummm yea... a fact because you say so.It's a hard fact: Roundup breaks down rapidly. I heartily agree on the need for a longer term solution.
