Q

I have about 2 acres two spray. I use a 20 gallon tank with electric pump. Can I use Demon Max? I have a wild bee hive so want it to be safe.

A

Mavrik would be the only option we have that (once dry) would be safe for bees. We would not recommend Demon Max since it is non selective even when dry, so it could kill the bees.
