A reminder that all pesticides must be used according to the label instructions. No instructions, no use. If you are commercial, and there is a complaint, and it is determined that the label has been violated, it could cause serious problems: fines and pulling the honey off the market. To check for pesticide rules in your state, the state Department of Agriculture (pesticides section - whatever it's called in your state) investigates all complaints and can impose fines. they also register all pesticides and can tell you if Maverick has a label for use on bees. Your state apiary inspector may also be able to help. I am less familiar with Food and Drug Administrations rules. I realize that there are few choices for beekeepers, since it is a minor "crop" and a high risk ie cost if there is problems and you sue the company for bee loss. You may need to work through your apiary inspector and local IR-4 coordinator or the national association may need to get involved and help develop labels for bees. Finally, check with the manufacturer of the product you purchased. There may be something you are or are not doing. Good luck and Read and Heed that Label. SHARON J. COLLMAN W.S.U.
