I know that spinosad is bad news for bees and as I have kept bees in the past thats more than enough for me to not use a product containing it.

To be fair pretty much all insecticides harm bees so it's not just spinosad!

Yep but this is one that bee keepers really dont like

Thanks Sal and Mark. I just wondered if this facebook page was a load of nonsense or if there really are issues with this drug

Spinosad's big contraindication is not using it at the same time as high dose ivermectin; as they really don't like each other.
