Bill to ban pesticides toxic to bees takes a key step forward in the Vermont House
Lawmakers have advanced a bill that would ban the use of seeds treated with neonicotinoid pesticides in Vermont by 2029 and most spraying in 2025.
"Sugar beet farmers have the green light to use a banned pesticide deadly to bees following a forecast that a virus could sweep through their crops."

Watchdog investigates emergency authorisation for banned bee-killing pesticide
The Office for Environmental Protection said it was seeking to determine if there were ‘serious failures’ to comply with environmental laws.
“Agrochemical exposure is a major contributor to ecological declines worldwide, including the loss of crucial pollinator species. In addition to direct toxicity, field-relevant doses of pesticides can increase species’ vulnerabilities to other stressors, including parasites.
Both wild and managed bees are threatened by interacting combinations of stressors, including forage loss, parasite pressures, and exposure to agrochemicals, including pesticides.”
