Confidor kills bees

[lal-au0]

The Hortico equivalent also contains Imidacloprid which kills bees.

If you have to use it please cut off all flowers and flower buds.

NO nasty pesticides/insecticides used in my garden, nature works side by side here

My BIL keeps  bees and when he moved them out to the farm  he lost all his hives. If the bees die, we die. Don't use any pesticides please.

Even common garden pesticides are dangerous to bees.

That's interesting OP, thanks for posting.

The only pesticide I use in the veg garden is Dipel to control white moth etc., I hope you haven't heard anything negative about that.

the stuff in my confidor-alike made by hortico is imidacloprid.

look at your bottle and see if any of those in the link are in it.
