Pollinator incident report form

If you keep bees and suspect that your hive was poisoned by pesticides or other chemicals, use our online form to let us know.

We gather reports about suspected pollinator incidents from around New Zealand and send them to OECD (the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) Pollinator Incidents Information System.

Our factsheet provides more information about why we collect data about pollinator poisoning:
