Product Q&A

Answer:

Unfortunately there are no "honey bee safe" products to use that are also labeled for use on edible plants/fruits/vegetables. To protect your honey bees, you need to take some precautions. Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray is a non-selective insecticide, so it will kill all of your insect pests - honey bees included. To avoid this, apply the product at night when the bees are not active. By the time morning rolls around, the product has dried and will hardly be harmful to them. It should also not be too big of a problem if your honey bees are not actively foraging.
