"A $167,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will
help researchers at the LSU Agricultural Center determine whether
laboratory-tested safety precautions to protect honey bees from mosquito
spraying actually work in the field.
Lead researcher Kristen Healy, assistant professor of entomology at the
LSU Agricultural Center, said most of the work on insecticide safety
around bees has been done in laboratory settings with very little
testing of how those safety measures work in the real world."
