We have aphids on our cucumbers leaves and are looking for an organic product we can use that is not toxic to bees. Do you have any recommendations?

Good afternoon Vicky,

I regretfully must say the topic of pesticides is one we are unable to address .

I would suggest checking for links on organic gardening pest control or checking with a local nursery.

We serve all Land Grant Universities, regardless of membership status.
