This is directed at Steve Jepsen mostly. However, some of the others out
there are sure to be able to help.
We have started to incorporate bee hives as part of our property. We try our
best to protect the wild bee population to begin with. Obviously we want
minimal damage done to our bees.
I have used Esfenvalerate (Asana XL) in the past but know it is highly toxic
to bees. I believe Endosulfan (Thionex 50wp) is less toxic to bees? Will it
be effective on squash vine borer? What about Capture? I can do my own cost
analysis but appreciate the advice.
Thank You!
