We're told that growers will be wanting to spray one or several of the
following on canola crops that are in almost full bloom where we will have bees.
I have the blue book pages but see *nothing* mentioned about bees.

I have heard bad things about fungicides and bees.  Has anyone on the list any
experience with the following chemicals?

Benlate
Bravo 500
Ronilan EG
Rovral
Tatoo C

I am told that the first four are pretty well harmless to bees.  If so, which
fungicides have I heard all the bad things about?

Thanks in advance.
