Tree & shrub systemic pesticide and bees
by jason schaefer 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

Hi everyone Hope you all are doing well! I am writing to ask if anyone knows of any scientific resources regarding the systemic pesticide use on pines and the impact on bees. My neighborhood has a bad pine scale problem and some neighbors are getting desperate and using systemic pesticide. I would like to give them as many resources as possible before making that decision.. Personally, I have been disrupting the larval stage each year and watering a little extra with great success against the scale. (I can go into more detail if anyone is interested in my battle with scale, I'm sure you have the problem too ;-) Jason

Alicia Robicheaux lives 14 miles north of Las Vegas at the base of Hermit Peak. She says there are some non-aggressive bees in her house, and she thinks they are honey bees. She would like some help getting them into a hive body. Are any of our beekeepers in that area who would be willing to take a look? Just let me know, and I will get your contact info. to her. Meanwhile, she is on one of our FB groups, and I will ask her to join this email list. Thank you. Dorothy

Hello, I am new to NM, and new to learning beekeeping. I live up in White Rock on a couple of acres and this has been a lifelong goal of mine. I am in the early stages of learning and just ordered two books recommended to me. The Queen and I and The Beekeepers handbook. Any information that you offer, I would gladly take you up on. So exciting. -- Best, *Tish Thames, SRES* *Broker Associate* *Better Homes & Garden-Wine Country Group* *Relocation Specialist* *S*onoma CA 95476 707-738-3313 DRE#: 01327628 tishthames(a)gmail.com This email communication, its contents and attachments may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information which is solely for the use of the intended recipient(s), and the information contained herein shall not be forwarded, copied, printed, or otherwise used without the permission of the sender.
