Studies have found that when bees intake in pesticides, the strawberries that have grown up with their pollinations are smaller

Observer of the three conventions of Chinese biological diversity protection and Green Development Foundation (referred to as China Green Fair, Green Club) as the Third Convention on Chemistry (the Basel Convention, the Rotterdam Convention, and the Stockholm Convention, BRS) The latest developments. Recently, the Chinese Green Fair Chemical Working Group learned from an international journal "Research and found that when bees are in insecticides, Strawberries are smaller when they are less, Study Finds". The Green Club Chemical Working Group now compiles this article for reference and understanding of interesting readers.

A new study from Lund University of Sweden shows that the reaction of the bee in the bee that intakes amidamine to kill pimyramids when they look for food from rapeseed. In addition, the strawberries that are pollinated by these bees are smaller.

As we all know, if the bees are pollinated by the flowers, the strawberries will grow even more, but if the bee is exposed to the new nicotine pesticides, how will the growth of strawberries be affected. In a new study published by the Plos One, the Swedish research team has been discovered.

"We have studied bees that consume tapestamine. Ratamine is a insecticide used to control flea beetles in rapeseed. Our research shows that this substance slows down the reaction of the bees and damage the damage. They have their ability to pollute the flowers of strawberries, "Lina Herbertsson, a biological researcher at Longde University.

Researchers use 12 outdoor cages, and living bees can find food from rapeseed and strawberry flowers. Among the half cages, the rapeseed is treated with tapenamine. Bee exposed to processed rapeseed bees need more time than other bees to pollinate the same amount of rapeseed flowers. Later, when the researchers said heavy strawberries, they had another discovery. It turns out that if strawberries are pollinated by bee seeds that have been treated with rawramine, these strawberries are smaller.

Lina Herbertson said: "Previous research showed that in terms of foraging, development and reproduction, tetheramine would have a negative impact on wild bees. Our results show that it will also damage the flowers of bees to strawberry flowers to strawberry flowers. The ability to grant pollination. "

She emphasizes the importance of the results carefully.

"In our research, Lina Herbertson said," In our research, we have not determined the reason for the lower weight of strawberries, and after a study of only a special situation, we don’t know if this is a kind of General mode. "

In 2018, the European Union decided to completely prohibit the use of tetramine and two other new nicotin pesticides for outdoor plant protection. As another research team previously stated that one of the other new nicotin pesticides is ticrates, which may distort the pollination of the Hornet to apples. Even though these chemical agents are no longer used in the protection of outdoor plants in European agriculture, Lina Herbertson believes that new results are important because they show that insecticides can have a more complicated effect than expected.

"Although the use of tetramine is prohibited now, other substances that affect the insect nervous system have been partially replaced in similar ways. Therefore, it is essential to continue to conduct this study and investigate how these substances affect the behavior and pollination of bees." Li Li. "Li Li." Li Li. "Li Li." Li Li. "Li is important." Li Li. "Li is important." Li Li. "Li is important." Na Herbertson concluded.
