When drenched as a soil application then bees will be OK. Merit is systemic but doesn't translocate to the flowers. If you SPRAY Merit (or any other insecticide) then you must keep drift down & NEVER spray when flowers are open or the bees will be toast. Foraging bees might never make it back toi the hive but some will & they'll spread the insecticide to the hive. Bad mojo.
