I have 30 field plants that I've had issues with cuke beetles, SVB moths and squash bugs....and have kept things under control with various products. But I'm concerned now about pollination time....done by the bees. So here's my questions: 1) What time period does it take after spraying Talstar, for the bees to come back? 2) Does Garlic Barrier keep the bees from pollinating?

Thanks guys!

Nana, We grow 50 acres of field pumpkins and do our spraying in the evenings and don't have any issues with pollinations. If you do your spraying late in the day I think you will be fine.
