Nearly 500 million bee pesticide poisoning deaths in Brazil

  According to a report by the Central News Agency on the 17th, the two Brazilian agencies analyzed the reports of the State Department of Agriculture and said that between December 2018 and February 2019, nearly 500 million bees died in Brazil, and 80% of the dead bees have flubens. Insecticides such as nitrile.
 
  According to reports, from January 22 to 31, 2019, the Department of Prosecutor's Office in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, inspected honey producers in the northern virgin forest area and found that about 50 million bees died. The test found that the dead bees contained three insecticides, the most of which was fipronil. The agronomist Nordari pointed out that these insecticides are deadly to the bee. In general, pesticides have chronic neurological damage to bees, while insecticides such as fipronil are directly lethal. In addition, if the bee that is poisoned but not dead returns to the hive, the entire hive will be contaminated.
  According to reports, the NGO “Brazil Journalist” and the news agency “Public Institutions” analyzed the reports provided by the State Department of Agriculture and pointed out that from December 2018 to February 2019, fipronil and nicotine-derived pesticides caused Nanda River. The main cause of the death of 400 million bees in the state, 45 million in South Mato Grosso and 7 million bees in São Paulo, 80% of the dead bees have these substances. Santa Catarina is Brazil's largest honey exporting state and 99% of its production is certified as organic honey. Producers are concerned that the death of a large number of bees will raise doubts about the quality of Santa Catalina honey and affect its business. Agrilogist Nodari said that in just three months, nearly 500 million bees died in Brazil and did not include wild bees, so the actual problem is even more worrying. Nordari pointed out that bees are the main pollinators of nature, and the death of bees does not only affect the honey chain. If there is no pollination of bees, the output of agricultural products will be greatly reduced, and even lead to food wars. The Brazilian Pollinator Project, coordinated by the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment, states that 30% of Brazil's agricultural production annual output depends on pollinators, and if it pays pollination services, it will cost about $12 billion a year.
