Will sulphur fungicide harm bees?

Created by Sandy on June 1, 2015 at 11:13 pm

Hi there,
We are growing organically and keep bees. I am thinking of getting sulfur fungicide to apply to our peach tree as we have peach curl on some leaves. Will this harm the bees?
Thanks for your reply

Sandy –

Sulfur is not toxic to bees. However, I did find an article that suggests that it can repel bees for up to 48 hours, so it should not be applied while the tree is in flower. I’ve also included a link to our Peach Leaf Curl Treatment and Control page:

Hope this helps!
