What were the clinical symptoms showing with the bees?  I am trying to get a
handle on the different symptoms showing between insecticide and fungicide.



Not much to add there,  but I did want to point out to readers here 2 other
details.

1  there are a lot of plant growth inhibitors being sprayed to prolong the
bloom.  Theses are approved for spray in bloom.  I don't know anything about
the effects,  except it sounds bad.  Anything to delay plant growth??


2.  much of the work commercial bees are doing is to avoid sprays.  We spend
long hours and late nights moving bees in and out of fields based on the
growers need to spray, and our desire to not be sprayed.  Days would be a
lot easier for us if that were not part of the program.
