Pesticides - reducing damage to honey bees

primefact cover
Primefact Number: 148    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: 01 Jul 2006

Pesticides are used in agriculture, horticulture, and in field and forest situations to control a wide range of insect pests and weeds. About 50 pesticides registered in NSW have been identified as toxic to bees and are used in situations where bees may come into contact with them.

This primefact details practices that should be used by persons applying pesticides and by beekeepers operating apiaries in areas where pesticides are applied to minimise damage to honey bees.
