Correct me if I'm wrong somewhere;
1. Tomato dust is an insecticide,

They could state this moreclearly instead they state do not use when bees
are foraging not stating This kills bees too!
They know its complete properties, as it seems you do....

2. Bees are insects,
3. Therefore the tomato dust has killed off the bees.

Yes youre right, but it also includes the sulphur dusts.
Yates could have done better with this by stating "WHEN"
to start using this stuff, as otherwise its not doing what its intended
for....
I will avoid using Yates products in future....
