Thank you for the several responses on bees in the apple tree.  I was
greatly impressed by the widely-held opinion that I should refrain from
poisoning the little buggers, and that education for my wife and kids
is the best solution; I whole-heartedly agree.

And, as it turns out, there are at least two bee-keeper folks within a
1-mile radius of my house (fringe suburb/country area of Beaverton,
Ore.).

But that brings up another question: I want to keep the leaf- and
fruit-eating bugs off of the tree. If I spray for them, when can I do
it to make sure I don't poison the bees, and what is a recommended
chemical (yes, I AM going to spray for THESE bugs)?
