decis and the pollinators

• The ‘Hazard Quotient’ (Dose rate ÷ Honey Bee LD50 ) reflects the relative toxicity of a product to bees.
  
• In many uses, decis has a low ‘Hazard Quotient’, similar to low hazard standards (e.g. phosalone) & equivalent or better than many competitors.

Honey Production

• Low bee mortality at registered rates.
• No or short term disturbance to foraging (depending on time and rate of application).
• No reduction in hive production, development or brood comb strength.
• No residues in honey.
• Short term repellency effect.

decis and Bee Stewardship

• To minimise any disruption, apply when bees are not actively foraging e.g. early morning or late evening.
• Do not apply on windy days to prevent drift.
• Avoid aircraft application to reduce drift.
