Working safely with Fumitoxin in orchards – A grower’s perspective

March 22, 2017

Susan Cobey, a honeybee insemination expert, and her husband, Tim Lawrence, breed honeybees in Coupeville, Washington, as part of Washington State University’s efforts to improve the genetic health of the fruit industry’s most important pollinator. Cobey affixes colored tags to the inseminated queens. She also slightly clips one of the queen’s wings, just enough to notice upon close inspection but enough not to stop the queen from flying.
