The UK government is facing heat for allowing a pesticide called Cruiser SB to be used on sugar beet crops despite its ban in the EU.
This pesticide is harmful to bees and could contribute to their decline, which is already a major concern for the environment.
An investigation is underway to determine whether the government followed proper environmental laws when authorizing the use of this pesticide.
The government is being criticized for prioritizing agricultural interests over the well-being of bees and the environment.
