I was told that roundup is harmless to biurds, and animals. I
extrapolated
that thinking and extended it to bees.
Last week, I applied Roundup near my hive in an attempt to keep the
weeds
from blocking the entrance. The following day, I notices that I has
several
hundred dead and dying bees near the entrance to the hive.
Are the fumes from Roundup responsible? I live across thye street from
a
small orchard, and although I didn't notice any spraying going on, that
might
have been the cause, but I can't tell for certain. The dying bees were
barely
alive, on their backs. I assume this is a poisoning.
