It’s now clear that our decades-long love affair with pesticides is contributing to the worldwide collapse of bee colonies, with ramifications for all plants and animals — including us — that depend on these mighty pollinators. So a law that kicks in Jan. 1 will prevent California farmers from using a category of pesticides known as neonics, which have been particularly linked to bee harm, at times when the insects are most likely to be foraging for food.

But while recent research increasingly links neonics both to broader ecosystem problems and to serious health conditions in humans, the new state regulations focus only on protections for bees.
