Yes, this product has an active ingredient of Imidacloprid, which belongs to the neonicotinoid class of pesticides that research has shown is very likely harming the bees. From the EPA site:"Data suggest that neonicotinic residues can accumulate in pollen and nectar of treated plants and may represent a potential exposure to pollinators. Adverse effects data as well as beekill incidents have also been reported, highlighting the potential direct and/or indirect effects of neonicotinic pesticides." Per the product label, 'Do not apply until after trees have flowered or when bees are actively foraging.' I looked this product up on do my own pest control website as Amazon doesn't have the ingredients or manufacturers label visible, at least that I could find. I personally will continue looking for another product for my home orchard, but encourage others to research various pest control options and decide for themselves.

Learn to time applications around flowering so that this product is at it weakest during flowering. So Apply after flowering

I don't have access to product right now but bees are a concern of mine as well. I am a Biologist and research chemicals I use to be certain they are specific to my needs and not general in nature. I had a white fly problem only and remember researching this product at the time. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure if it will actually KILL pollinators, but they certainly don't come near the flowers of plants treated with this product. I've seen bumblebees come toward a flower and immediately back off. Unfortunately, Japanese beetles are not so easily discouraged ... although I must say that they aren't nearly as populous on my rose blooms with this treatment as they are without it!

Sure is I've used it on plants for mites many many times works great to kill them but it does not have any effect on the eggs ,But I found if I spray the infested plants every 3 days or so at average room temperatures that kill them out after a few weeks and also I've used it for my tomato plants to control pest

Yes, it will. It is designed to kill just about any living tree, shrub or plant. Be careful.

I am not sure about scorpions, while I also had these creatures around, I was actually using this product for invasive wood eating bees that were destroying structural areas around the property. This stuff is pretty potent, if I hadn't been so desperate, I don't normally use these type of products. However, I believe it is probably the best thing on the market to attempt to kill scorpions - it seemed to control these very aggressive bee populations where I lived in the mountains. Sorry, can't be more definitive about the scorpion issue. good luck! karen

It shouldn't as it is really designed for pests. I would avoid putting direct, undiluted product directly on the flowers,shrubs, etc....I have not used mine yet, so I cannnot rate it's effectiveness yet. From the reviews, it sounds like it will work fairly well.

No Marvin it doesn't work for bees and no one on this earth should want it to? Please explain why on earth you should want to remove even one bee. Wasps/Hornets I get but bees?. Without them our sorry arses would be toast. No pollination, no food, period.....

I use it on my loquat tree at 1 TBL per gallon and it has been working fine for many years. I don't spray after fruit forms except a little on the trunk if we have been raining excessively and it starts looking a little green. I don't spray the leaves or fruit while fruit is present.

I didn't have any problems when using this around my plants. I used it both around my flower garden and my vegetable garden. It does not kill all bugs but it does significantly reduce the number of bugs you will have.

It's a fungicide Jon......it's NOT an insecticide. We use this on our cucumber & squash plants to prevent or control fungus. We do not spray anything on flowering plant's when bee's are active. Do your spraying after 6pm .

Absolutely, I have sprayed it extensively on everything we have, from Honeysuckle or delicate flowers, no ill effect at all....spray away, the wasps sure hate it, for weeks on end!!

Hi Charlotte,I'm sorry I can't help you. I purchased it specifically for my peach trees. I'm sure if you Google, you should be able to find out?

I used it to kill ash saplings, some up to 3" in diameter, that were growing in the rows between pine/spruce/fir on my Christmas tree farm. I have not seen any damage to the Christmas trees.

It can be applied at any time, but best applied during the growing season-- and that's usually spring. If your plants are being infested now, then apply now, as this will not harm your tree and hedges. HOWEVER, people and animals SHOULD NOT EAT the fruit of your plants, as this is a systemic insecticide. Also, this insecticide has been implicated in harming good insects, such as bees, and small birds, such as humming birds. Use with caution.

Hi Scott - this product is designed not to have any effect on honey bees so I would not recommend it as an effective way to repel other types of bees.
