This is good news. Thank you for giving me this information and I congratulate you for using Spinosad in a controlled and sensible way. If everyone did that we wouldn’t have so many problems and we would have healthier bees.

I have controled onion thrip in my onions for seed for three years nowsuccessfully with spinosad. Before we used Lannate or similar every five days, but with spinosad the control lasts longer, I believe in part because of the preservation of beneficial insects. The spraying withspinosad we do in a highly directed manner, below the umbel. I have my own bees and I have not noticed that they are effected.

I am so pleased to have found your site. I often attribute my reluctance to use chemicals on sheer laziness. Once on the chemical path, it seemed impossible to let nature do its thing. So I took an organic detour. Reading through your bee articles alone, reassured me that there is a way to work with nature and still be a “gardener.”
Thank you!
