What information is provided on the label about pollinator protection?

• A. There will be a pollinator protection box with a bee icon containing instructions such as not applying while bees are foraging and not applying to flowering plants.
• B. No pollinator information appears on labels.
• C. Pollinator protection is optional and not required on the label.
• D. The bee icon means you should attract pollinators.

Answer: (A)

Pesticide labels include a pollinator protection section that guides you on how to avoid harming bees and other pollinators. This is often shown as a box with a bee icon, signaling you to read and follow the specific instructions inside. Those instructions typically cover not applying the product while bees are actively foraging and avoiding applications to flowering plants or crops that are in bloom. This information is required on labels to protect pollinators and to keep applicators compliant with the product’s directions. The other choices overlook that pollinator information is required on labels, misinterpret the bee icon, or suggest actions that don’t align with protecting pollinators.
