While EU food safety regulations set maximum pesticide levels, current risk assessments don’t take into account the long-term impacts of exposure to multiple pesticides residues.

Pesticide exposure is linked to asthma, cancer, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological and developmental problems.

UK farmers are required to warn beekeepers 48 hours prior to spraying pesticides.
Rural residents usually get no warning at all.
