Crop spraying

   
It is possible that crop sprays can affect the health of bees as well as making it difficult for them to fly, and their effectiveness in pollination may suffer as a result.
We can advise you wheter a particular spray is likely to have serious effects and can arrange with local beekeepers to close hives at times when you need to spray.
Listed below are members of the Newbury and Wantage Associations who are available to discuss spray arrangements.
