Pesticides : affecting to honey bee and human

Food is the one of basic needs that are necessary for human being. Many agriculturists attempt to increase their products in order to be sufficient for customer's demand, so using pesticides is one of the possible choices to maintain the number of products. It is obvious that they do not consider other species which are not pests are killed from receiving the toxin in pesticides.

According to Rebecca Morelle's article in "Neonicotinoid Pesticides 'Damage Brains of Bees'", there are two dangerous pesticides, Neonicotiniod and Coumaphos, which damage the honey bee brain. they cause directly negative effects to the bees and users, and affected people are not treated with precise remedy.

Nowadays, there are many brands of pesticides which are used in different aspects. All of them are produced by mixing chemical substances and toxin. The purpose to use pesticides is to eliminate unwanted insects which harm agricultural products. Many agriculturists always use them because of easiness and convenience. For Neonicotinoid, commonly used in Europe that it can control the number of pests on oil seed rape and other crops, where as Coumaphos is often used in US that it can kill a parasite in honey bee.
These two pesticides obstruct the insect's ability to learn and recognize and damage the pollinator's brain, and if they are combined together, it is not only pests are killed brutally, but the surroundings, such as pollinators and users, are also affected dangerously.

However, many scientists are not motionless with this problem. they still find the best solution of the effects from pesticides and the effective remedy to the patients. They advise to the companies which are producing the pesticides must consider in the point of safety of the chemicals. They also search and find scientific evidence of Neonicotinoid and Coumaphos in order to prove that which species of honey bee are affected, compared to others, and how both pesticides can exacerbate human body. Nonetheless, many countries in Europe have not already banned using these pesticides because they would like certainty about the negative effects and other better pesticides which are probably replaced Neonicotinoid and Coumaphos.
