Title: Dangerous for Bees
Product review: I had read articles about the use of spinosad to control leaf miners and wanted to try it on some citrus trees. Since the Amazon information labeled the product as "organic lawn and garden insect control," I assumed wrongly that the product was in the safer-to-use category that includes neem and BT. When the product arrived, I noticed that the printed label on the bottle does not use the word "organic," so I read the instructions with extra care. The product has been approved for organic use by the USDA, but the information booklet also warns that1. the product is dangerous for bees for up to 3 hours after it is applied. They recommend using the product in a area with no blooming plants2. the product is dangerous for fish and must not be sprayed on waterI certainly cannot use it in my garden... the bees are all too precious and I rarely have a time here in Georgia when something isn't in bloom.Back to BT and neem.Pat
