Yes, glyphosate is harmful to bees

Many people assume that herbicides, since they are designed to kill plants, are not toxic for bees. This, however, is far from the truth. In our latest briefing, we list scientific findings that reveal that glyphosate-based herbicides are toxic to bees in many ways. Bees are exposed to these chemicals either by direct contact or by ingestion via food and contaminated water. Glyphosate-based herbicides are widely used to combat weeds in agriculture, towns and cities, peoples’ homes and gardens and even in nature-protected areas.
