Existing Scientific Evidence of the Effects of Neonicotinoid Pesticides on Bees
|
Neonicotinoids, a class of systemic insecticides, are more frequently associated with the pollinator declines. The present briefing note gives an overview about neonicotinoid uses and recent scientific findings on their impact on bee colony survival and development. Risk-mitigation measures aimed at protecting non-target organisms (such as bees), are outlined and discussed. |

Exposure of native bees foraging in an agricultural landscape to current-use pesticides
|
While most pesticide research has focused on honey bees, there has been less work on native bee populations. To determine the exposure of native bees to pesticides, bees were collected from an existing research area in northeastern Colorado |

Facts and figures for an informed opinion on fipronil
|
The review of the risk assessment of fipronil revealed several concerns for bees. As for neonicotinoids, the EU Commission has proposed to ban fipronil for certain uses in the EU market. By mid July 2013, |

Farmers with experience of agri-environment schemes develop more wildlife-friendly habitats
|
Agri-environment schemes (AES) provide farmers with financial incentives to adopt wildlife-friendly management practices. Despite considerable expenditure — the EU allocated a budget of €22.2 billion for AES from 2007 to 2013 — a number of studies have highlighted variable success rates of AES in terms of providing environmental benefits. |
