Beekeepers in New Zealand are not thrilled:
http://www.epa.govt.nz/search-databases/HSNO%20Application%20Register%20Documents/ERMA200886_SUBMISSION102502%20-%20NBA%20%28D.Macleod%29.pdf

The active ingredient triggers the carcinogenic, target organ/systemic and
reproductive/development hazard classes of the HSNO Act classification.
But the formulated product shows low toxicity when using the six pack of tests.
With respect to this submission supporting beneficial pollinators such as the
honey bee and bumble bee this product shows a high level of toxicity.

Reference Table 3.3.2.5 of the application where the LD 50= 0.0515 x 10-6 grams
active ingredient per bee for the formulated product.
