(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, November 11, 2020) Neonicotinoid insecticides inhibit honey bee sleep cycles, leading to stress and population declines, according to research from Vanderbilt University, published in Scientific Reports<\/a>. Although there is already ample evidence of the dangers these systemic insecticides pose to pollinators \u2013 as evidenced by recent bans in the European Union<\/a> and Canada<\/a> \u2013 this new line of investigation add further detail to the ongoing crisis in the pollinator world. \u201cI was thinking about honey bee disappearances and it clicked\u2014if pesticides are killing bees indirectly but we don\u2019t know exactly how, maybe it\u2019s because they\u2019re getting physically lost,\u201d said study coauthor Michael Tackenberg, PhD.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scientists conducted the experiment using honey bees located on Vanderbilt\u2019s campus, which does not use neonicotinoid insecticides. After returning from pollen collection, forager bees were captured at their hive entrance and moved into monitoring tubes, which were subsequently transferred to the lab. In the lab, scientists were able to control light and dark cycles, and exposed bees to levels neonicotinoids they would likely experience if foraging on contaminated flowers.<\/p>\n

Foraging bees were first exposed to light\/dark at 12\/12 cycles, followed by four days of complete darkness, at which time some bees were provided neonics, and others were not. Only 12% of control bees that did not feed on contaminated nectar displayed disrupted sleep cycles, while over 40% of exposed pollinators were adversely affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cGraphically, normal circadian rhythms look like steady waves,\u201d said\u00a0Giannoni<\/span>-Guzm\u00e1n, PhD, the paper\u2019s co-first author. \u201cWhen we observed bees that consumed neonicotinoids over several days, we saw a loss of waves, movement at random times or signs of barely any sleep at all.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Exposed pollinators increased their activity later into the night, although did not display an overall increase in activity.<\/p>\n

Researchers were surprised to see that exposing the foragers to consistent darkness, without a light\/dark cycle first, appeared to blunt the adverse effects of exposure. This tipped researchers off to the concept that light was playing a key rule in the interplay between neonicotinoids and sleep disruption. Consistent exposure to light disrupted the sleep cycle for 28% of pollinators; when the neonicotinoid thiamethoxam was introduced, a much larger proportion, 46% of bees, were disrupted. In contrast, exposure to the same levels in consistent darkness had no significant effects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen how neonicotinoids disrupt honey bees\u2019 biological clocks so that many no longer have regular sleep-wake rhythms,\u201d said study co-author Doug McMahon, PhD. \u201cThe bees that do have irregular sleep-wake rhythms are sleep deprived and skewed in their alignment in time and environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Disruption of the circadian clock has far-reaching implications on complex social insects like the honey bee. Many are familiar with the evidence that neonicotinoids disrupt navigation<\/a>, foraging<\/a>, memory and learning<\/a> in exposed bees. Circadian rhythms and sleep patterns support those critical functions. Sleep deprived honey bees are thus more likely to have difficulty returning home after foraging, and remembering or communicating through waggle dance the location of pollen and nectar.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond sleep disruption, we know that honey bees rely on their internal sense of time and the position of the sun,\u201d said Dr. Tackenberg. \u201cIf they have an incorrect sense of time their ability to effectively navigate is hindered. It stands to reason that if a bee\u2019s internal sense of time is disrupted or altered it could affect learning, memory and foraging efficiency\u2014even outside of reduced capacity from sleep disruptions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mechanistic process discovered by researchers has the potential to explain why many beekeepers experience a dwindling or collapsing hive without evidence of other stressors. Foragers that get into a plot of neonicotinoid-contaminated pollen may be cognizant enough at initial stages to communicate the location of this food source to other bees. But over the next several days, more and more bees are likely to become lost on their way home, or worse, reach the hive and potentially undermine the health of the entire colony.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Saving America\u2019s Pollinators Act<\/a> would provide pollinators with a real chance to recover from the stressors of pesticide exposure. The bill would eliminate neonicotinoids, other toxic systemics waiting in the wing with the chemical industry, and establish a board of experts to protect pollinator health into the future. Take action today by urging your member of Congress to support this important legislation.<\/a> You can also get active in your state. Massachusetts residents are encouraged to lend their support to the state\u2019s proposed Pollinator Protect Act<\/a>, which would eliminate the most toxic neonicotinoids from consumer use. You can also get active in your local community by passing laws that protect pollinator from neonicotinoids and other highly toxic pesticides. If you\u2019re ready to protect pollinators, let us know today that you\u2019ll fight for a pesticide-free community.<\/a><\/p>\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. 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.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. 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\/28214","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=28214"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28222,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28214\/revisions\/28222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
