The restoration of hedgerows will support populations of beneficial animals like pollinators and insectivores that prey on pests, thereby improving the productivity of intense agricultural systems that are working to meet humankind’s ever-growing need for food. The study was supported by the University of California – Cooperative […]

DENIAL: Remember when the scientific “status quo” claimed pesticides didn’t harm honeybees? Now the evidence is undeniable
Anyone who still tries to claim that pesticides do not harm honeybees after recent study results out of Germany and France is likely trying to promote their own interests because they are clearly out of touch with reality. The new study, which was published in the Journal of Apicultural Research, leaves no doubt about the […]
