[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1145910, member: 14661"] Here in CA we're starting to look at fungicides instead of pesticides. We know enough about pesticides to know what they do but a lot of the fungicides haven't been studied as closely and we're seeing that they can have long term effects on the quality of pollen in both the crop they're applied to and the weeds on the floor. With a lot of the fungicides tank mixing is a common practice and two chemicals that we know about become a whole new ball of wax when they get mixed together. This makes sense to me as a beekeeper as my colonies that struggle tend to do it in the late winter when they're digging into pollen stored from the previous year. A pesticide kill is more specific. You'll have dead bees or dead brood depending on what got used. [/QUOTE]
