All bee larvae, regardless of which kind of bee will be safe inside the colony. And by the time the bees return the spray will have dried. You raise a good point but I have not heard of detrimental effects to date. My bee clubs would definitely have had discussions on this.

My city is spraying with Bkt soon and I am concerned about bumblebees, which I love.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487248910255127586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979426466891495702.post-56456937971363720612016-08-10T15:19:02.941-07:002016-08-10T15:19:02.941-07:00Hi James,

BTK is typically sprayed on the surface so the larvae ingests it as it consumes the leaf. Injection, while perhaps more time consuming? is an interesting way to get it throughout the plant. Do let me know how it works for you if you can. And thanks for reading!Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03931005791882603935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979426466891495702.post-28656317987325004352016-07-01T20:40:26.601-07:002016-07-01T20:40:26.601-07:00Thanks that was just the info I needed.
