Abstract

Insecticides use, considered as one of the common practice in local farming system, cause  detrimental effect on agriculture environment and bio diversity subject. (celli et al 2003 )3  Besides  that residue sprays on pesticides could also make unintended possible effect to honey bee  andother Pollinators. (Stokstad, 2007)5  So, pollinators have great impact on plant productivity.  Because of this main issue to keep the pollinators in healthy and high diversity for sustainable  of environment, food and environment. (Celli et al, (2003)3 , (Neumann, et al, 1994).55, The field  observation a recorded in agriculture crops and laboratory test recorded the effect of common  insecticides to mortality and behaviour of honey bees. 96% pesticides traded were applying  by our farmers, besides there were 13 active ingredients of fungicides 15, insecticides and 1  herbicides, 1 Molluscuide, they are using twice a week during crop cultivation; 60% of farmers  mentioned the presence of honey bees on there land Farmers knowledge in use of insecticides  (sethuraj, 2004)10 is Apporoaiate and safe for bees and farmers when applying insecticides in  there field, forager bee move to flowers as the preference (Allen et al 1998)4  to insecticides was  12.5% and 0%, 4.2% mortality test showed LD 5o value O. O1√g/√l insecticides rate is 0.031 and  0.09, which much lower than suggested dosage recommended br insecticides producer. (Said et  al 2013).78 This research conculde, that the use of insecticides could lower the pollination service.
