Nearly one-third of the world’s crops are dependent on honeybees for pollination, but over the last decade they have been dying at unprecedented rates both in the USA and abroad. Scientists have linked a powerful class of pesticides called neonicotinoids to increases in bee die-offs.
Pesticides kill beneficial insects including pollinators and natural enemies that control common pests like aphids. Certain pesticides, including neonicotinoids, are highly toxic to honey bees in particular. Instead of using pesticides, explore organic ways to grow healthy plants, such as using compost for healthy soil and controlling pests with homemade remedies and biocontrols like ladybugs.Bees pollinate a significant majority of the world's food.
