Oregon’s campaign against pesticide-related bee deaths hits 100% success.
In 2013, following a spate of high-profile pesticide-related bee deaths, the state of Oregon set up a Pollinator Health Task Force. In the years since, around 13,000 licensed pesticide applicators have been trained to spot high-risk conditions and change how they work around bees.
The state has not recorded a confirmed pesticide-related bee kill since 2020.
