Pesticide, EPA Faulted in Bee Die-Off

Hard enough that Ellis and other beekeepers from across the country last
month asked the federal government for a temporary ban on one the most
widely used pesticides until its effect on bees is clear. They fear it is
contributing to a worldwide die-off and the inexplicable phenomenon known
as "colony collapse disorder" that is devastating honeybee hives.
.
"We are asking the EPA to do its job," said Jeff Anderson, a commercial
beekeeper from Eagle Bend, Minn. "Give us products that are safe."
.
The beekeepers and several environmental groups argue in an emergency
petition filed with the EPA that the agency failed to require some legally
mandated field testing before the pesticide was approved in 2003. New
research, including two studies published last week in the journal
Science, raises serious questions about its effect on pollinators of all
kinds, they maintain.
.
The EPA said it has based its continued approval on hundreds of studies.
In 2010, the agency said no data show that bee colonies are harmed by
exposure. Nevertheless, it agreed to accelerate its routine review of the
pesticide - meaning it will be completed in 2018.
.
Meanwhile, officials with the manufacturer, Bayer CropScience, say they
are confident that the research will continue to prove the product is safe
for bees when used appropriately.
