Will Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer attract or kill my honey bees if used around flowering plants?

Wife was given this product by the nursery when she asked for Amdro toe the ant mounds in our yard. I'm worried about using it around my two hives.

Answer:

No, the Martin's Surrender Fire Ant Killer will not attract or kill honey bees because of how it is applied. This product should only be used as a direct mound treatment. For the best results, you will apply this product in the early morning or late afternoon when the ants are most active. In a non-crop area, such as field borders, fencerows, roadsides, ditchbanks, etc., you will use 2 teaspoons per mound. If you are using Surrender to treat in residential, recreational and/or commercial turf, you will use 1-2 teaspoons per mound.
