All,
 
Whatcom County Management has, at the instigation of the local voters
association, recently decided to go back to the use of this herbicide on
roadsides. The area(Point Roberts) has been exempt from roadside spraying
for the past few years as it was considered an ecologically sensitive
area but the Public Works folks seem to be inclined to respond quickly to
this call for help.
 
The spraying is being scheduled for June and I wonder if anyone has info
on Roundups effect on Apis m. foragers or, possibly,  time-of-day
restrictions we can insist on?
 
Any help appreciated.
 
...Stuart
