Respect for Bees and Beekeepers - Guidelines for treating flowering crops
  • It is a legal requirement to use as directed on the product label.
  • Spray in the evening or in the early morning when the number of bees foraging is less.
  • Take care to prevent drift toward hives in the treated field.
  • Do not use Decis in tank mixture with triazole fungicides.
  • Give local beekeepers at least 24 hours notice.
Beekeeper associations have spray liaison officers, for phone numbers: www.britishbeekeepers.com
