Managing Stink Bugs in the Vegetable Garden Without Harming Bees

Brown marmorated stink bugs pierce ripening vegetables and fruits, introducing rot. They're tough to control. Spinosad (e.g., Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew) can help if applied early, before nymphs become adults. To protect honeybees, spray at dusk when bees are in their hives.

Monitor plants closely and act at the first sign of infestation for best results.
