Consider the
honeybee when
spraying pesticides
DOVER, Del. - While
pesticides are excellent for
the destruction of pest
parasites and predators,
they can also do con
siderable damage to the
helpful honeybee. This in
sect, known for the valuable
honey it produces, is even
more important as a
pollinator of fruit trees,
forage crops, vegetables,
and other plants, according
to Frank Boys, University of
Delaware Extension en
tomologist. When it’s time to
spray for ornamental, forest,
field crop, fruit, and
vegetable insects, Boys
urges protection of the
honeybee at the same time.
This Extension specialist
says that bees are most often
found in fields containing
vetch, alfalfa, dover and
other plants in bloom.
They’re also attracted to
dandelions, wild flowers,
ornamentals and trees in
hedgerows.
When buying pesticides,
care should be taken to
select the product which is
least harmful to bees and
other pollinating insects. But
when treating mixed stands,
timing and the method of
application are also im
portant. For example,
carbaryl is very toxic to

During the same
ceremony, recognition was
also given the following

honeybees if sprayed on
mixed alfalfa forage with
other plants in bloom. But it
will not harm the bees when
it’s used as a stubble spray
after baying.
When using insecticides
such as an organopbosphate,
the hazard can also be
reduced by proper timing of
the treatment.
According to Boys, highly
toxic materials should be
applied only during periods
when bees aren’t visiting the
plants • preferably during
the night or in the early
morning. In addition,
spraying should be avoided
on windy days when the
insecticide may drift into bee
yards or onto other crops.
Spraying is generally the
most harmful application
method for bees, regardless
of whether it is done from the
ground or the air. However,
dusts are less effective
against the pests and often
drift considerable distances.
But granules present the
least danger to bees and
other beneficial insects.
Although pest control often
requires immediate action to
protect a particular crop,
Boys recommends giving
local beekeepers a 48-hour
notice before applying
pesticides.
