Decision makers need to balance consideration of the effects of single
pressures on pollinators against the suite of other pressures on pollinators.
For instance, the threat from pesticide use (with its high public and media
profile) also needs to be considered in the context of the other threats facing
pollinators and balanced against the need for food security. An independent
review of the balance of risks across pollinator groups from pesticide use
would help synthesise current knowledge into an accessible form for decision
makers.
