Is this product harmful to bees and insects?

I don't think so. I have been using it for years and have never seen a problem. There are warnings on the bag about keeping pets away from the product until it is watered into the ground. I have 3 dogs and I am very careful, but have never had a problem.

Not that we are aware of. Have used it for many years and still have bees and insects.

Absolutely yes. It's has a wonderful smell to us and moths and bugs just hate it. However, I would caution that if you are spraying delicates or anything that is questionable, ask the manufacture. This is great stuff and it should be safe. I hope this helps :)

Bees would be attracted to anything you put on your skin with a fragrance. I would imagine. Especially a honey based product. Which I don't think this is.

This product is used to kill insects in your home and garden. It is not for human consumption.

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.

My best guess is that it wouldn't harm bees since it's not generally toxic, but you'd have to get a more expert opinion.

Unfortunately, that I'm unsure of, but this is still a great product. However, the spray version lasts a lot longer and is probably safer for honeybees, as it absorbs quickly onto the surface and acts as a wonderful deterrent to ants. I spray it around the perimeter of my home, as well as the inside at the floor/wall seams & its safe around my 3-YO. Lasts for about 2-3 months on average. Also, if you go with the granules, don't forget to pour it on a day of good rain or the day before to ensure it gets absorbed and distributed properly. Good luck!

Yes, however, this will also kill any beneficial insects (that have exoskeletons) that come in contact with it.

I don't think Liquid fence is a natural product and would be dangerous for bees. You'd have to read the label carefully. I used up a whole bottle and it kept rabbits and squirrels from eating my plants. I bought a second bottle and it did not work! Animals ate my plants to the ground.

Here is where I found out about this stuff...it is recommended for carpenter bees, which is what I am buying it forhttp://www.pestproducts.com/deltamethrinspray.htm

The label does not mention that it is safe to use around bees-- so it would probably kill them.

Hi, Ladyfingers! I checked the label and instructions on the bottle I have, and there was no mention whatever about insects harmed by the spray. The most important caution was to keep pets AND people away from the sprayed area until solution has completely dried. I have used this Roundup for about three years on my rock patio, and have never found an injured bird from the many Mockingbirds and hundreds of dove on my property daily. Hope this helps!

Don't buy it. It is so toxic, really. Not worth it for your own health and the environment. I would place the orchids in a window with direct sun for a few weeks, or I would use a toothbrush and some dishsoap in water to clean the surfaces of the plant (if mites/larva are the problem). Steer clear of such harsh chemicals though. This is banned in Europe. It is what is causing the honeybee collapse in the US.

We would not buy this stuff again, because it is very dangerous if inhaled or gets on your skin. It does kill the roaches, but the smallest amount around my wife made her nauseous. If you read the label (go to google) you will see that it does kill tics and fleas but cannot be applied to animals, infact the warning is that people and animals should not go near treated areas until dry. With my health conscious background, I surprised myself that I purchased this very dangerous product. i will be getting rid of it. Way to risky for me!

Yes it kills pretty much all insects, unfortunately it wipes out bees as well. It's delayed reacting though, don't spray a hornet nest with it lol.

No, it does not kill bees not even hornets. But as I recall it was extremely thick and smelly.

I haven't tried this honey, and I buy organic, but an "organic" label on honey is silly to me. Honey bees can range miles and miles away from their hive, meaning that even if bee keepers are careful of their immediate surroundings, there's absolutely no way to guarantee that a bee hasn't taken nectar from treated crops, or GMO crops. Just something to think about before you spend more on "organic" honey :)
