Farmers spray on beans

[Etton]

I received a ‘beeinformed’ message from a farmer re spraying pirimicarb on beans. I googled and says… Pirimicarb is toxic to bees. You must not spray pirimicarb where bees are foraging or onto any flowering plants, including weeds. If you spray pirimicarb on non-flowering plants that are close to other plants in flower you must only spray in the late evening when bees have stopped working.
Anyone have knowledge of this chemical, I hoped it was non toxic to bees.

Are the beans in flower to attract foragers?

Beans are flowering now.

Does it say when the beans are sprayed? Or the half-life of the chemical?

Talk to the company , talk to the farmer. Take appropriate actions.

There are other beekeepers around the spraying area who will be affected. I have asked the farmer to spray late in the day when less bees flying. Must be a common insecticide that is used nationally, so many beekeeper in the same position.
Good of the farmer to use ‘beeinformed’
