Some brood may be killed (Gregorc 2006) and brood development may be retarded for a couple of months (Hatjina 2005; Higes 1999). Some adult bee mortality may also take place, with foragers being more susceptible than nurse bees, with more mortality in cooler weather (Martín- Hernández 2004)."

The only legal and accepted wording on this product, at this time, is the EPA No.<FONT> </FONT>91266 dated 03/10/2015.</P> </blockquote><br>
