You NEVER, NEVER spray fruit trees while the blossoms are anywhere in
sight...you can kill off the bees this way. Any package that I have
purchased over the years, says to spray every two weeks until the
blossoms appear, and every two weeks from after the blossoms have
fallen until a week before the fruit is picked. This is what we do and
the results are good.
