The most common method of pest control on crop plants is the use of insecticides and acaricides. But if these chemicals are applied at flowering time and pollinating bees and other insects are killed, crop yields are likely to be poor. A comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide to pest control in commercial crops that will have the minimum impact on bees. Includes tables of pesticides that are ‘most toxic to bees’, ‘very toxic to bees’ and ‘least toxic to bees’.
