Hello,

I not only keep a few bee hives but I  hybridize plants.  I work with
daylilies.  Great flowers !!  Gone are the days of the small yellow
daylilies.  I use fertilizer that has systemic insecticide in it.  Its
hard to kill mites and thrips without using these kinds of products.
Some of the other plants that my bees visit also get these products.  My
question is will the insecticide hurt the bees if they visit the flowers
and will it get into the honey?

Many thanks !
