H4 indicator for field scale pesticide exposure to honeybees for 2021 - PN0810

Objective

Quantify residues in 100 honey samples spatially spread across England along a gradient of arable and horticultural agriculture and from two key time periods, May and August. Quantify residues in honey samples of key herbicides, fungicides and insecticides expanding on the previously used range for 1/1/201920 to better understand risk. Enable progress to be measured against 25YEP (through the H4 indicator) and NAP goals Support post regulatory approval monitoring. Support decision making in relation to Emergency Authorizations Update whether pesticide residues in honey exceed acceptable levels of risk for honeybees, integrating these with trends previously reported in 1/1/201920.
