Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to clearify something:

David,

"You are correct, these chemicals are toxic to bees.  The only hive that
I would be concerned about is the one that is very close to the corn
field.  Even so I
don't think that you will have any problems.  The bees don't have any
reason to be in the corn field, so direct losses would be very little if
any."

Sorry Jeremy, but here in the midwest at least honey bees do collect pollen from corn so you can get large bee kills if insecticide is applied during pollen shed.  Still, advice to apply in evening is good as long as the material does not have residual toxicity and avoid direct drift of spray.

FWIW
