Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison suggests going to talk to your farmer neighbors and find out what they are spraying. Most applications are probably not insecticide. If you build a good relationship with the farmer, they will inform you if they are spraying something that might harm your bees and you can take preventative measures.
