Abstract
Pesticides are widely used in agricultural settings to eliminate or limit the activity of pests. The driȅ of pesticides into surrounding ecosystems is a common occurrence, and bees are not immune to their effects. The dangers pesticides pose to non-target bees based on their presence in Vermont ecosystems remain unclear. This research aims to quantitatively assess the presence of pesticides detected in various Vermont pollen samples and whether they exist at levels harmful to bee health. The current results of this research remain unknown as the development of a web-based interactive display is still underway.
