Spraying question ( apple trees)

[BobinCt]

I thought during bloom you didn’t spray so bees could pollinate. On a spray guide I’m reading, it says to spray at bloom when 50 perc of the blossoms are open. It says to spray with Captan, Myclobutanil and Streptomycin . Can someone with experience elaborate on this. Thx,

Spray fungicides - not insecticides.

Sounds like a recommendation for dealing with fireblight, CAR, and apple scab

^ ^ ^ As these guys said - those chemicals are for funguses and fireblight. They shouldn't hurt bees & pollinators.
