No it really only kills flies. Anything with an exoskeleton just gets shot a few feet away

I don't think it impacts bees. I have a honeysuckle and never seemed to impact their population while this product is in use which usually last 6 weeks from spraying.

Yes it will, It will kill anything you spray it on. Be careful around your good lawn.

No. Besides winding up in the fruit, it will be in the pollen and nectar, and will kill the bees that are needed for pollination.

I don't see how Honey bees could be affected. The Nemotodes only attack the borers inside the tree.

I'm certain that it will damage bees, uless they try to get too close to the product getting irremediably stuck on it.

Drione dust would only help if you are able to apply directly to the holes the bees have bored. It will then kill the adults coming in and out of the holes, then when the larvae hatch, it will kill them when they come out of the hole

I understand that it does. I think they use it around here on ornamental ash trees. It certainly should kill any borer since that insect grub is eating the living part of the bark and that is going to have the chemical just like the leaves do. Also, if you have large trees this insecticide is available at a much lower unit cost if you buy larger amounts. Just Google the actual chemical name of the insecticide. In fact it is used by farmers on some things.

It won't kill flies in a time frame that you will be able to see it happen. It's slow. It's not like they'll come in contact and drop over like many other pesticides. Most bee spray drops them right out of the air, dead on contact. This is for an entirely different purpose. You may not see the flies die, but as long as more are not coming in, pretty soon they'll all be dead. And it does seem to work a very long time. They say a year, I'm not so sure I'd go that far, but it's worked for me for 5 months now.

I tried it twice on a yellow jacket nest (in house soffit). I treated in late afternoon rather than at night, so not all the yellow jackets were in the nest. Returning yellow jackets were hesitant to go into the nest, but eventually did and the nest is still active. So I would say this product is NOT effective at killing yellow jackets. But yellow jackets are wasps, not bees, so there may be a difference there.

Yes ,it says so on the container. It will kill just about everything that walks crawls or fly.

I am guessing you do not really mean honey bees and such. You probably mean like hornets and wasps and such. I am not sure. I did find one dead below mine so if it ventures in, it will get zapped. I guess the answer depends on what you want it to do to the stinging insects. To keep them from making nests all outside your house, well, it is not so expensive that I think you could try it. It will kill them if they fly in, I just don't know if it will attract them or not. It attracts the most insects at night, and some during the day.

Yes. Be very careful NOT to get it on any other plant life you do not want to kill.

If you are asking can it kill a bee then yes, it can kill a bee. It kills any small bug that touches the bulb. It comes with a mosquito attractive piece that you need to place in the bottom if you want to clear out the mosquitoes better but I don't know about killing a large amount of unwanted bees. I would call a professional if it were that serious.
