Oh good! I'd hate to think I was destroying the bees, they have
enough problems without me adding to them.
Thanks Marshall

I don't think spraying the flowers will kill the bees, they would
not get enough. In the experiment I did they were fed pure CS in
their feeder.

Aargh- I just went and sprayed my flowers with CS because I
remember reading it was good for the plants. Now I am killing bees.
I guess I will limit the use of CS to indoor plants unless one of
you can absolve me. Just how much CS does it take to kill an
insect? Anyone know?Sharon
It is not a parasite, it is the intestinal flora of the termite. It is
believed that CS will kill the bacteria, and thus the termite, but I am
not aware of any tests run on termites. It has been confirmed that CS
will kill honeybees by that route though.
