Making sure that they don’t harm the bees is vital for all farmers. Vines don’t need the help of bees for the fertilization, but there are still bees in the vineyards. The bees actually thrive here because there is a greater variety of vegetation around the vines compared to many other crops. So, it is a good idea to be careful when spraying.
Bees can be affected when spraying with insecticides but also when using herbicides and certain pesticides because they poison the pollen that the bees feed on. If you must use insecticides during May and June when both vines and many wild plants are in bloom, you should use a bee-friendly product.
It would be best spraying when the bees are in their hives, in early morning or evening. You should see to it that your spraying is efficient and try to avoid spraying too haphazardly, creating drops that the bees can “drink”. This is just a few examples; there is much you can do to make the bees happy.
