Abstract
A Presidential Directive required States to develop a Managed Pollinator Protection Plan (MP3), a voluntary means of increasing communication between stakeholders to mitigate acute exposures of bees to pesticides. However, Iowa has been proactive, implementing the Iowa “Bee Rule” nearly 40 years ago. The development and implementation of the Bee Rule included public participation, stakeholder involvement, is based on a BMP to reduce bees to pesticide exposure, has defined public outreach, is reviewed an updated as needed, and via pesticide complaints, the results can be quantified.
