Will Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Control Formula have a harmful effect on honey bees while pollinating?

Answer:

The Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Control Formula does contain an insecticide that could be toxic to honey bees if they contact the insecticide spray directly. To avoid potential harm to pollinators, we recommend to avoid spraying blooms directly or applying insecticides during the heat of the day when pollinators are active in the area.  Recent studies show that the top cause of Colony Colapse Disorder (CCD) in honey bees is caused by the invasive varroa mite. You can read more information from the EPA on this topic here.
