Can anyone tell me if the above chemical is detrimental in any way to
bees?
My county road department has hired a contractor for roadside
maintenance work.  They intend to use the chemical for spot treatments,
in lieu of trimming I guess.  Below is some info my wife read me over
the phone:
 
Brush control agent - treated susceptible limbs fail to grow the next
spring
 
Ammonium Salt of Fosamine  [Ethyl hydrogen (Aminocarbonyl) phosphonate]
41.5% by wt
EPA Reg. No. 352-395
 
No mention as to effect on insects/bees
 
Supposed to be low environmental impact.
