Efeitos que os agrotóxicos provocam em abelhas

Abstract

Bees and pollination activities are extremely relevant processes not only for the agricultural sector, but for humanity in general. The use of pesticides becomes a problem when they exert a destructive influence on those insects. The misuse causes behavioral disorders and bee colony reduction, and a consequence of this problem also becomes an aggravating factor in the economic sector. The most commonly used pesticides are neonicotinoids. Studies on the sublethal effects need to have a higher level of depth, since the effects on bees are observed in long terms and can cause damage at colony levels, as it will be susceptible to contamination by the harmful substances. In this review, information will be collected to explain how pesticides affect bees. It is extremely important to obtain, through these references, answers that show the impacts that these substances cause on bees, allowing an elucidative analysis on the main subject of this question. This document deals with data referring to a literature review on the effects that pesticides have on bees.
