For those who may not have been around last year, insect growth inhibitors
were found to be a part of a labeled "fungicide" sprayed during almond
bloom. So the beekeeper might think that only a fungicide was being
sprayed, but the manufacturers are giving the growers more bang for their
buck, at the expense of bees. I know Randy is working on this issue.
