But apparently not the ones that I photographed spraying John Miller's
hives (and many others that I've watched), nor the ones that regularly
spray mine.

>If I do kill bees most likely it will be the result of the surfactants in
the Roundup formulation not the Roundup itself.

A couple of years ago I asked the risk assessors at EPA whether they had
considered the surfactant in Roundup.  They told me that they had called
for testing to be done.  The results appeared to show that the formulation
wasn't toxic to bees.  However, I would like to test for myself to
confirm.  Dick, the spray rigs blow the spray hard into the entrance of the
hives.
