How To Report Pesticide Kills

In order to get the legislation's attention, bee kills must be reported. If you find your bees dead in a huge pile in front of your hive, you have a bee kill. You can and should report your bee kills to both state and national agencies.

In Georgia, bee kills should be reported to the Georgia Department of Agriculture: Rachel Futch 404-656-9371. Her email is Rachel.Futch@agr.georgia.gov.

On a federal level, report to the EPA by emailing beekill@epa.gov. If you want to learn more about reporting bee kills, check out the Honey Bee Health Coalition Quick Guide to Reporting a Bee Kill Incident.

The Pollinator Stewardship Council can be of great help in reporting bee kill incidences.
