If you were going to spray an area and there are bee colonies within two miles, what should you do?

1. Contact the local government
2. Contact the bee keepers 48 hrs in advance so the colonies can be moved
3. Spray immediately
4. Use a different pesticide

The correct answer is: 1. Contact the local government

If you were planning on spraying an area and there are bee colonies nearby, it is important to contact the local government, the correct answer in this case. This is because bees are crucial to our ecosystem and spraying pesticides can have harmful effects on them. Spraying without proper precautions or notifying the government can result in the loss of important pollinators and can also cause legal issues. Option B suggests contacting bee keepers 48 hours in advance, but this may not be enough time for them to safely relocate their bees. Option C, spraying immediately, would not be the best approach as it can cause harm to the bee colonies and option D, using a different pesticide, may just have the same harmful effects on the bees and should not be the immediate solution. Overall, it is important to take necessary actions and consult with the local government to ensure the safety of the bees and our environment.
