Mark,
 
I think the one you are talking about would be the Midwest Tree Fruit Pest Management Handbook published by the University of Kentucky Extension.  About 8 different universities participated in it.  The Michigan State guide is much more thorough than the Midwest Tree Fruit Handbook.  The Midwest handbook is more of an overview and the Michigan State guide is more in-depth in the actual day to day applications.  You can download the Midwest handbook at http://www.ca.uky.edu/agc/pubs/id/id93/id93.htm
 
We were at bud swell to 1/4" green when the cold weather hit.  We should be in pretty good shape since we had no bloom at all.  Our Ginger Gold and Sansa were at 1/2" green on some scaffolds, but not all.  All the buds look pretty good.  The peaches were still at bud swell so it looks like they were running a bit behind this year, which is a blessing!

Dennis,
 
Do you know if this is the same fruit management guide put together by several Midwest universities.  I was at a peach orchard a couple weeks ago and the owner recommended a fruit management guide, but it was put together by several universities including I-State.  He said it was a fruit growers most important book.  Is this the same thing?
 
I'm almost afraid to ask, but how has your orchard made it through so far?

There are many pesticides that are relatively safe for bees and some only mildly toxic to bees, depending on the pest you want to spray for. Imidan is not safe for bees and we spray it only at night.  We try to use it only once a season as we have found other alternatives since it is an OP and will be phased out within the next few years.  The 2007 Fruit Management Guide from Michigan State University has a chart on page  65 that gives you the effectiveness of insecticides and miticides in controlling pests of apples and at the bottom of the chart is a toxicity table for bees, mite predators and insect predators.  You can download the entire guide free at http://web1.msue.msu.edu/epubs/pestpubs/E154/index.htm.  It also includes fungicides as well as complete lists of the various chemicals available and their toxicity.  It is the best guide I have ever found and we use it constantly here at Royal Oak Farm.  I hope it helps.

Is there an 'insecticide' that is relatively safe for honeybees?

Our local lawn store sells Imidan.  I think they call it "Imipro" or some
such.  It comes in a liquid concentrate form.
