The use of systemic pesticides to save Pinons seems to be pretty widespread in this area. I refuse to put beehives on a property by museum hill due to the 30 foot columns of pesticides in 2016 and 2017. Now the pesticides are being injected into trees. </div>

Where I live the community uses water to spray the larvae/pupa off the tree, gather the webbing into a trash bag and dispose of.</div>

Good luck, I haven't done any research searches since 2017 on bees and pesticides. You might contact Beyond Pesticides and The Center for Honeybee research in Asheville NC. </div>

When Bayer moved into North Carolina the master beeks that hired on and did research for them, only conducted trials for 6 weeks, however long a neonicitinoid stays sub-lethal in a bees system/hive never longer.</div>

<div class="PlainText">Hi everyone<br>
<br>
Hope you all are doing well!<br>
<br>
I am writing to ask if anyone knows of any scientific resources<br>
regarding the systemic pesticide use on pines and the impact on bees.<br>
<br>
My neighborhood has a bad pine scale problem and some neighbors are<br>
getting desperate and using systemic pesticide. I would like to give<br>
them as many resources as possible before making that decision..<br>
<br>
Personally, I have been disrupting the larval stage each year and<br>
watering a little extra with great success against the scale. (I can go<br>
into more detail if anyone is interested in my battle with scale, I'm<br>
sure you have the problem too ;-)<br>
