Vermont’s House of Representatives on Friday passed a bill to severely restrict a type of pesticide that’s toxic to bees and other pollinators.
The bill will now go to the Senate. Representatives said Vermont was home to more than 300 native bee species and thousands of pollinator species, but many were in decline and some had disappeared altogether. Pollinators perform a vital role in allowing crops to grow. The bill bans most uses of neonicotinoids — commonly called neonics — as well as the sale and distribution of seeds coated in the substance which are used to grow soybeans and cereal grains. The pesticides are neurotoxins and are the most widely used class of insecticides in the world, the House said.In Vermont, the Conservation Law Foundation testified that just one teaspoon of the pesticide was enough to kill more than 1 billion honeybees.
