We raise honey bees and wondering the effects to honey bees after the plants have bloomed.
If you use a systemic product such as Imidacloprid 0.5G Insecticide in an area with blooming plants, then there is a possibility that bees could pick up some of the active ingredient if they are foraging on those plants. While a granule product applied on the ground would pose far less risk, we cannot guarantee that the flowers in the area would not take up some of the imidacloprid.
