EPA is hosting a public webinar that will provide background information
and additional details about its proposed plan to prohibit the use of all
highly toxic pesticides when crops are in bloom and bees are present under
contract for pollination services. The plan also recommends that states and
tribes develop pollinator protections plans and best management practices.
EPA has already held webinars with states and tribes. The public webinar
will be on June 23 from 3 – 4:30 p.m. Eastern and accessible online at
