    Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I was referring to spraying with insecticides, not fertilizers and anti-fungicides etc. As someone who regularly moves bees to rape fields and the like. I'm well aware of the many different sprays used by farmers. And I'm also used to their consideration when using insecticides, as they are having to currently do due to neonic ban.
    My comments refer to after Neonics when (currently) the only option is to spray with insecticides, such as pyrethroids, organophosphates etc; which are pretty lethal to most insects they come in contact with.
    I'm sure the same considerations by farmers towards beekeepers will still apply, in most cases.
