Re: Does Sevin Burnl Flowers?

Agree - Do not dust or spray the flowers or you will kill the pollinators. If you have flowers full of cucumber beetles, cut off the flower and squash the flower with your foot. Also, spray or dust in the evening as most flowers are closed at that time.

If you use 7 you will kill a ton bees. If you must use it, use the liquid. The powder is much worse. The bees carry it back to the hive with the pollen. You can kill off an entire hive.

Some of my male and female flowers look burnt, and I suspect the Sevin I'm
using on the the cuke beetles and squash bugs.  Any feedback?
