A while ago I was told about a bee colony that had been killed with Sevin spray.  I looked up Sevin and it's a non-residue insecticide  that's used on vegetables and fruit trees that's very toxic to honey bees.  Even though it's supposed to be non-residue, I'd hesitate to re-use any honey and comb from such a colony for honey bees.  Does anyone know if it would be safe?
