Cue the scary music – BEEPOCALYPSE
Do we have the real reason for the beepocalypse? There a new link between pesticide usage and honeybee colony decline. Scientists examined large-scale pesticide usage and yield observations of oilseed rape fields and compared this with data on honeybee losses between 2000 and 2010. The number of seeds treated with imidacloprid rose from less than 1 percent to more than 75 percent and correspondingly so did the honeybee colony losses. This research is the first evidence of a link between neonicotinoid pesticides and bee decline. The respective governments of the European Union (EU) and US have recognized this conclusion yet they side on the farmers production with a couple warning barks suggesting they will end the bee-killing pesticides yet they pull back from biting into the problem. Despite the large scale study previously mentioned, the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) bark sounded like this, “the Scientific Reports study provides evidence that neonicotinoid seed treatments can reduce the need for more pesticide use on crops but that large-scale field studies are needed to fully understand their effects on the environment.”
