This photo taken Thursday, July 23, 2015, at a farm in Lakeville, Minn., shows honey bees at a bee hive. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has issued an executive order restricting uses of neonicotinoid pesticides to reverse the decline of bee and other pollinator populations. Dayton made the announcement Friday, Aug. 26, 2016, at the Minnesota State Fair, joined by state agency heads and legislative leaders. He points out that pollinators are crucial to the state's $90 billion agricultural sector, but they've been in decline over the past decade. (David Joles/Star Tribune via AP)
