Resumo: | The decline in bee communities in recent years has been a major concern worldwide. The increase in the mortality of these pollinators is related to several factors, the main one being the intensive use of pesticides in agricultural crops. Brazil is the world leader in use of pesticides since 2008 and recent changes in legislation have facilitated the commercialization of certain pesticides whose marketing has been banned in several countries. This review addresses how current Brazilian legislation on agrochemicals has influenced the increase in bee mortality. Under the current federal government, in 2019 and 2020, 474 and 493 new pesticides were registered in the country, respectively, some of them classified as highly toxic to bees. In addition, public policies in Brazil led by certain sectors of agribusiness have also contributed to increase the number of threats and the mortality of bees, making it difficult for the beekeeping sector to act in opposition. Understanding how these policies directly affect pollinator conservation allows decision-making to help mitigate their environmental and economic impacts in Brazil. Otherwise, without effective actions to mitigate the abusive use of pesticides, the numerous studies demonstrating its direct impacts on the bee’s survival will be of no use. |

El aumento de la mortalidad de estos polinizadores está relacionado con varios factores, siendo el principal el uso intensivo de pesticidas en cultivos agrícolas. Brasil es el líder mundial en el uso de pesticidas desde 2008 y los cambios recientes en la legislación han facilitado la comercialización de ciertos pesticidas cuya comercialización ha sido prohibida en varios países. Esta revisión aborda cómo la actual legislación brasileña sobre agroquímicos ha influido en el aumento de la mortalidad de abejas. Bajo el actual gobierno federal, en 2019 y 2020 se registraron 474 y 493 nuevos pesticidas en el país, respectivamente, algunos de ellos clasificados como altamente tóxicos para las abejas. Además, las políticas públicas en Brasil lideradas por ciertos sectores de la agroindustria también han contribuido a incrementar el número de amenazas y la mortalidad de las abejas, dificultando que el sector apícola actúe en contra. Comprender cómo estas políticas afectan directamente la conservación de los polinizadores permite la toma de decisiones para ayudar a mitigar sus impactos ambientales y económicos en Brasil. De lo contrario, sin acciones efectivas para mitigar el uso abusivo de pesticidas, los numerosos estudios que demuestran sus impactos directos en la supervivencia de las abejas no servirán de nada.O declínio nas comunidades de abelhas nos últimos anos tem sido uma grande preocupação em todo o mundo.

Além disso, as políticas públicas no Brasil lideradas por determinados setores do agronegócio também têm contribuído para aumentar o número de ameaças e a mortalidade de abelhas, dificultando a atuação do setor apícola de oposição. Compreender como essas políticas afetam diretamente a conservação dos polinizadores permite a tomada de decisões para ajudar a mitigar seus impactos ambientais e econômicos no Brasil. Caso contrário, sem ações eficazes para mitigar o uso demasiado de agrotóxicos, os inúmeros estudos que demonstram seus impactos diretos na sobrevivência das abelhas serão inúteis.Research, Society and Development2021-04-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1415710.33448/rsd-v10i4.14157Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 4; e36910414157Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 4; e36910414157Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 4; e369104141572525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/14157/12784Copyright (c) 2021 Aline Nunes; Caroline Schmitz; Sidnei Moura; Marcelo Maraschinhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNunes, Aline Schmitz, CarolineMoura, SidneiMaraschin, Marcelo 2021-04-25T11:21:26Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/14157Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:35:20.903285Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
