“First Look” Reading a Pesticide Label to Protect Bees
May 30 @11am PT
Join us for a
special offering in the Master Gardener Advanced Training webinar
series. “First Look” invites OSU students to share their research
projects and results with Master Gardeners.
Matthew Bucy, an undergraduate research assistant for OSU Pollinator
Health Extension, will explain how to read a pesticide label to protect
bees. He will cover where to find pollinator information on the label,
and will explain what the label language actually
means. Finally, he will cover how his honors thesis showed that many
labels deviate from EPA-recommendations in their communication of this
information, and he will explain why this can make label comprehension
difficult. Matthew will be joined by Dr. Andony
Melathopoulos (OSU Dept of Horticulture, Pollinator Health Extension)
for the Q&A portion.
