The effect of chemical pesticides on bees

Ghazi Ali Abdullah Mahrous
Summary

Chemical pesticides are generally considered toxic to bees, and are one of the problems facing beekeepers, especially since they are sometimes used randomly when sprayed on flowering plants during the period when bees collect nectar and pollen. They pose a greater danger when sprayed near beehives and on Close to drinking apiaries. This study will address the issue of the danger of pesticides to bees, the types used on plants, and their toxicity, so that the beekeeper can identify the most and least harmful types in order to avoid poisoning bees with them, and to put in place the necessary precautions for that. The study also presents a number of proposals and solutions to such a problem, which sometimes eliminates about 50% of bee colonies.
