The bee logo on a pesticide label indicates the product is what in relation to bees and other pollinators?

• A. Very Safe to Use Around
• B. Used to Control Pests Of
• C. Highly Poisonous To
• D. Beneficial to Pollinators

Answer: (C)

Bees and other pollinators are highly sensitive to many pesticides, so labels include a bee symbol as a warning. This logo indicates the product is highly poisonous to bees and other pollinators. It signals you must protect pollinators by following the label’s restrictions—don’t apply when blooms are present or when bees are active, watch for drift, and use timing or formulations that minimize exposure. The icon is not a sign of safety around bees, nor does it mean the product is for pests of bees or that it is beneficial to pollinators.
