RE: Bee protection group (bumblebee) under fire for failing to fight pesticide
"armageddon."<br><br>In 2009 Buglife did a thorough review of the available
scientific evidence of effects of neonicotinoids on insects
<a href="http://www.buglife.org.uk/Resources/Buglife/revised%20neonics%20report.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.buglife.org.uk/Resources/Buglife/revised%20neonics%20report.pdf</a><br><br>We
have not repeated this recently, but another review is justified. We do
also have a summary of post 2009 research but can’t claim it is comprehensive; I
can circulate that tomorrow if people are interested.<br><br>For ICPBR members
to focus on the scientific data is of course correct, but also significant and
relevant to the ICPBR are the regulatory pesticide authorisation processes and
the scientific quality and breadth of risk assessment of those
processes.<br><br>Currently the risk assessment processes do not include any
assessment of the effects of insecticides on wild pollinators, hence
formal pesticide approval processes (such as the EU DAR) cannot assure us
that the approved chemicals are therefore environmentally safe. This is
not just the opinion of Buglife, it is also the opinion of Defra/Fera and the
European Food Safety Authority.<br><br>The 2008 Fera/Defra report ‘Are pesticide
risk assessments for honeybees protective of other pollinators’ states
that:-<br><br>“There are many cases where species are several orders of
magnitude more sensitive on a per individual or weight basis than honeybees,
e.g. Lepidopteran larvae. Therefore more detailed information on the toxicity of
pesticides to a range of species and life stages is required to assess the
sensitivity of wild pollinators relative to honeybees.”<br><br>“Given the wide
range of plants species dependent on non-Apis [non-Honeybee] pollinators a
reduction in wild pollinators is likely to have knock on effects on the plant
species pollinated by them, resulting in less forage.” <br><br>“More
detailed toxicity and exposure information for a range of species is required
for a robust assessment of the risk
posed.”<br><br><a href="http://randd.defra.gov.uk/Default.aspx?Menu=Menu&Module=More&Location=None&Completed=0&ProjectID=15390" target="_blank">http://randd.defra.gov.uk/Default.aspx?Menu=Menu&Module=More&Location=None&Completed=0&ProjectID=15390</a><br>
<br>The
very recent ‘Scientific Opinion on the science behind the development of a risk
assessment of Plant Protection Products on bees (Apis mellifera, Bombus spp. and
solitary bees)’ European Food Safety Authority (2012) report
states:-<br><br>“Larvae of solitary bees consume large mass provisions with
unprocessed pollen thus, compared with honey bee larvae, they are more exposed
to residues in pollen. Moreover, bumble bees and solitary bees may be exposed to
a larger extent via contact with nesting material (soil or plants) compared to
honey bees, suggesting the need for a separate risk assessment for bumble bees
and solitary
bees.”<br><br><a href="http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/2668.htm" target="_blank">http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/2668.htm</a><br><br>I
hope most ICPBR members can support the call for introducing a range of standard
tests of pesticides across a range of non-target pollinator groups. If we
can achieve these improvements in the scientific process then in the future
pesticides are much less likely to damage pollinator populations.<br><br>Best
