Hello,
Neonicotinoids is the most common insecticide used around the world and bees have been exposed to these chemicals. The negative effects on bees health have concerned many. This composition has impacted the environment for insect pollinators. Honey has now been tested to contain neonicotinoids.
Quote:
Overall, 75 percent of the samples had at least one neonic, 45 percent had two or more and 10 percent had four or more.
Results varied by region. In North America, 86 percent of samples had the pesticide; Asia, 80 percent; Europe, where there’s a partial ban, 79 percent; Africa, 73 percent; the Australian region, 71 percent; and South America, 57 percent.
