Research to help plant growers
protect bees and manage pests.
A group of scientists from the IR-4 Project is doing research to explore the relationships between bees, environmental horticulture plants, and pesticides. This group has put together a database allowing users to create customized plant lists for bees, to research articles, to find pollinator news updates and to research best management practices documents. Check it out:

The research is primarily targeted towards helping environmental horticulture growers, but the information should also produce valuable resources for home gardeners or anyone interested in the interplay between bees, plants, and pesticides.
This website is their hub to:
- Share our research and updates
- Provide customized plant lists to help gardeners
- Provide resources to plant growers
- Share related pollinator information and news
