Fungicide spraying

[Marilyn J]

Just had a call from the farmer who has a field nextdoor. He's planning to spray the wheat with a fungicide (pyraclostrobin) at around 9:00 tomorrow. Should I close up the hives tonight? If so, how long after spraying should I let them out? Can't find much advice about this online.

I’ve never had issues or bothered closing with any fungicide spray, plus it’s on wheat.Can’t comment on that specific brand though, Bee unit may be worth a call.

I have an apiary that is on the edge of wheat fields and I’ve not had any issues if they were spraying herbicide I would close up then possibly

Thanks all for your responses. Decided to leave the hives open!
