I can't find any mention on the label of toxicity to bees, and frankly it never occurred to me that might be an issue. But now it's heading for the next toxic waste day at the dump. I love the bees (and the worms) much more than I dislike the aphids.A Deacon's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02916274353954745699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527368408279945460.post-55532281599641305072010-05-24T07:14:39.835-07:002010-05-24T07:14:39.835-07:00Thanks for the concise and clear explanation.

I used this stuff to control brown rot on turf during the summer. I don't like the idea of using it on food crops.Bill Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816389236294882066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527368408279945460.post-71309272751948840872010-05-22T07:57:43.215-07:002010-05-22T07:57:43.215-07:00I agree with you - what a terrible idea!

I think it's bad stuff.Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495668097562584397noreply@blogger.com
