When is the best time to spray if bees are in the area?

1. Noon
2. Mid-afternoon
3. Dawn and dusk
4. Mid-morning

The correct answer is: 3. Dawn and dusk

The best time to spray pesticides when bees are in the area is during dawn and dusk. This period is significant because bees are less active during these times, as they typically do not forage as much when the sun is low. By spraying during these hours, the risk of pesticide exposure to bees is minimized, protecting these essential pollinators and aligning with best practices in integrated pest management. Mid-morning, noon, or mid-afternoon can coincide with peak bee foraging activity, which increases the likelihood of bees coming into contact with the pesticide. For the safety of bees, as well as the efficacy of the pesticide application, selecting dawn and dusk is a considered approach.
