Re: [RC] Bees - Ed & Wendy Hauser

Gasoline is not an environmentally sound solution.  In addition to the obvious fire hazard, you are putting hydrocarbons into the environment which do not degrade very fast.  They can get into the water table, and if they evaporate they are air pollution.  Some of the molecules in gasoline are also carcinogens. 
 
You are much better to use a registered pesticide according to the label directions.  Today's registered pesticides do degrade in the environment.  They are screened for toxicity.  The long term toxicity and possible harm to animals etc. is checked.  And very importantly, you are using much less toxic material to accomplish the same job.
