Question: 1 / 50

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

1. Noon

Spraying when bees are present can pose a threat to both humans and bees. While it may seem like dawn and dusk would be the best times to spray because bees are less active during these times, it is actually more dangerous as they may still be gathering nectar and pollen. Mid-morning and mid-afternoon are also not ideal times to spray as bees are most active during these times. With the sun shining directly overhead, bees are busy foraging and will not take kindly to being disturbed by spraying. This leaves noon as the best time to spray if bees are in the area as they are usually back at their hive, taking shelter from the midday heat. Additionally, the spray will have enough time to dry before the bees resume foraging in the afternoon.
