Hello
Would any members be able to tell me how harmful " Round Up" might be to a bee colony. I have two healthy colonies that I keep out in the country as I have too much shade at my house.
Unfortunately the place where the hives are situated is next to a field where a farmer planted GMO corn ( about 500 - 1000 feet away.. I have discovered today that the farmer intends to spray the corn with Roundup and nitrogen soon and I am unable to find out when.
What are OCBA' members thoughts on this? Is this a situation where the bees would be doomed by this ? If this would inevitably result in the sudden death of the bees I would like to relocate the hives.
many thanks for any input.
Sally
