No, the use of the pesticide rotenone is not linked with any significantly negative impacts on area bee populations.Specifically, rotenone is a botanical insecticide. That means that it is made from plant body parts. It therefore may be used as an organic control of insect pests.Nevertheless, some organic controls are somewhat controversial. Such is the case with rotenone. Rotenone is effective in controlling pesty populations of aphids, Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles, Mexican bean beetles, and weevils. But its efficacy comes at a cost. It actually is considered competitive with some non-organic pesticides in terms of environmental impact.
Rotenone is toxic to humans because it can interfere with the function of mitochondria, the cell's energy powerhouse, disrupting cellular respiration. This disruption can lead to oxidative stress and damage to cells throughout the body. Additionally, rotenone has been linked to neurotoxic effects and is a known pesticide that can be harmful if ingested or absorbed through the skin.
