Researchers from UASLP and CIATEJ are investigating the causes of bee mortality linked to pesticides, a significant issue impacting biodiversity, agriculture, and ecosystems in Mexico. According to specialists, studies by CIATEJ have identified neonicotinoid insecticides and fipronil as key contributors to this problem. In collaboration with the beekeeping sector and the scientific community, they developed laboratory and field research protocols, leading to the creation of the Action Protocol for Bee Mortality Due to Pesticides, which aids in documenting these incidents and supporting producers.
