The metabolism of bees and humans is sufficiently different that bees can safely collect nectars from plants that contain compounds toxic to humans. The honey produced by bees from these toxic nectars can be poisonous if consumed by humans. In addition, natural processes can introduce toxic substances into honey produced from nontoxic nectar.
Two chemicals that were banned for being too toxic to wildlife but approved for use in pet medicines are polluting England’s rivers, an investigation has found. Permethrin and imidacloprid ...
Contact with a sprayed plant or "weed" can have an effect upon local wildlife, most notably insects. A cause for concern is how pests, the reason for pesticide use, are building up a resistance. Phytophagous insects are able to build up this resistance because they are easily capable of evolutionary diversification and adaptation . [ 49 ]
Some plants have pollen that’s too heavy for the air to carry, so it’s pollinated by animals like bees instead. Since that type of pollen never makes it into the air, it doesn’t cause allergies.
Although highly toxic to cats, permethrin is recommended as protection against mosquitoes for clothing, gear, or bed nets.
