Know about bees but want to learn about pesticides (or know someone who does)? Check out our introduction to bee and pesticide research just published in @JAppliedEcology! Led by @EdStrawBio during @ProtectsProject @ucdagfood @UCDEarth
ATTENTION ECOTOX PEOPLE: We wrote a primer on bee and pesticide science! Specifically written to be an accessible short guide for post / undergrads. It explains all the basic lingo and concepts in simple language. @DaraStanley

Pesticides are now everywhere and they don't seem to be going anywhere any time soon. I spoke to @theapplefarmer and @DaraStanley of the @ProtectsProject for this piece and some ways to reduce risk from these chemicals.
