Thank you for contacting Yates.

For Liquid Copper and Leaf Curl Copper Fungicide should be applied during flower buds swell but before buds opening, so there shouldn't be any bees foraging.

For Lime Sulfur, best to apply while trees are in dormancy prior budswell.  

Hope this helps and happy gardening.
