I do not like organo phosphates because of their effect on people,
insects and animals, just about every living thing. They are too broad
spectrum while imidacloprid is mainly harmful to insects.
I have never said that imidacloprid is not a dangerous chemical for
bees. But it is not as dangerous for the rest of the environment,
including us, as OPs. Which is why they are slowly being removed from
use.
