(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, July 2, 2013) In the wake of massive bee kills, the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) is placing temporary restrictions on the use of pesticides with the active ingredient dinotefuran. Dinotefuran, a neonicotinoid pesticide, was confirmed as the cause of one massive bee die-off in Wilsonville, Oregon, and suspected as the cause of another bee die off in Hillsboro, Oregon. This temporary restriction will be in place for 180 days for a limited number of dinotefuran uses. Environmental advocates have sued EPA \u00a0<\/a>on neonicotinoid \u00a0pesticides, citing its regulatory process \u00a0as deficient in \u00a0protecting bees and other beneficial organisms.<\/p>\n

Just as Pollinator Week<\/a> 2013 began, an estimated 50,000 bumblebees, likely representing over 300 colonies<\/a>, were found dead or dying in Wilsonville. According to the Xerces Society<\/a>, this was the largest known incident of bumblebee deaths ever recorded in the country. After a preliminary investigation, ODA confirmed that the massive bee die-off was caused by the use of the insecticide dinotefuran<\/a>. Then, it was reported by The Oregonian<\/em><\/a> that hundreds of bees were found dead after the same pesticide was used in the neighboring town of Hillsboro. Dan Hilburn, director of plant programs at the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA), told Oregon Live <\/i>that he had \u201cnever encountered anything quite like it in 30 years in the business.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new rule<\/a>, which has already gone into effect, prohibits \u00a0the use of dinotefuran on any plant. According to the new rule, \u201cThis includes, but is not limited to, applications on landscape trees and shrubs, nursery and greenhouse plants, turfgrass, forests and agricultural crops.\u201d Making an application of dinotefuran could result in the revocation of an applicator\u2019s license or the imposition of a civil penalty. Regulators acknowledge that carrying out this new rule will be difficult to enforce on individual homeowners. Products containing dinotefuran are not being taken off shelves, so residents can still purchase these toxic chemicals. Dinotefuran use in flea collars, and ant and roach control will still be allowed under this new rule. Though this ban is a step in the right direction, it underscores the obvious risk neonicotinoid pesticides create for pollinators.<\/p>\n

First introduced in the early 1990\u201d\u00b2s as an alternative to the acutely toxic organophosphate and carbamate classes of pesticides, neonicotinoids are now the most widely used insecticides in the world. Neonicotinoids, including dinotefuran<\/a>, can be broadly applied as a spray, soil drench, or seed treatment, and the ability of these chemicals to translocate through a plant as it grows has led to their widespread use in landscaping and agriculture.<\/p>\n

Once these systemic pesticides are taken up by a plant\u2019s vascular system, they are expressed through the pollen, nectar and guttation droplets from which pollinators such as bees then forage and drink. Neonicotinoids kill sucking and chewing insects by disrupting their nervous systems. Beyond these chronic toxic effects neonicotinoid are also extremely acutely toxic to pollinators as the recent incident in Oregon helps illustrate. Beginning in the late 1990s, these systemic insecticides also began to take over the seed treatment market. \u00a0Clothianidin \u00a0<\/b><\/a>and \u00a0imidacloprid<\/a> \u00a0are two of the most commonly used neonicotinoid pesticides. Both are known to be toxic to insect pollinators, and are lead suspects as causal factors in \u00a0honey bee colony collapse disorder<\/a>. An extensive overview of the major studies <\/a>showing the effects of neonicotiniods on pollinator health can be found on Beyond Pesticides\u2019 What the Science Shows<\/a> \u00a0webpage.<\/p>\n

Bumblebees have recently experienced dramatic population declines<\/a>, a fate that is similar to other pollinators. Bumblebees are crucial to pollination of several different crops in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Blueberries<\/a>, raspberries<\/a>, blackberries and crop seed production, which are grown in Oregon, all rely on bumblebees for pollination. Mace Vaughn, pollinator conservation program director with the Xerces Society, told Oregon Live<\/i>, \u201cBumblebees are the single most important natural pollinator in Oregon.\u201d<\/p>\n

These staggering bumblebee losses are an important reminder that quick action is needed to protect pollinators.

Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11031"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11031\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11058,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11031\/revisions\/11058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
