France has taken a bold step in protecting pollinators by fully banning pesticides known to harm bees, a move that reflects growing concern over declining insect populations worldwide. After a public petition that gathered more than two million signatures, and a ruling from the country’s constitutional court, the government confirmed that chemicals like acetamiprid cannot return to agricultural use.

The decision underscores the importance of bees not just for flowers, but for food production, ecosystems, and overall biodiversity. Supporters hail the ban as a commitment to environmental protection, while some farmers worry about losing key tools to control pests.

By prioritizing pollinator health, France is sending a message about balancing agriculture with ecological responsibility. The move has sparked conversation globally, highlighting how nations can act decisively to preserve essential species and the natural systems that sustain life.

San Francisco Chronicle
U.S. WINERIES EXCEL AT CRAFTING UNIQUE VARIETALS

By Carey Sweet
Owner Sam Pillsbury remembers the first time he tasted an Arizona wine in 1999.
“It was the best Chard I had tasted in 25 years,” he said, which is notable since he has
traveled the world tasting wines since the 1970s through his career as a filmmaker.
“The Dos Cabezas wine was from a vineyard in Willcox. I drove down to see it,
bought 40 acres (adjacent) and went into business with pioneer and Dos Cabezas
founder Al Buhl, because we both wanted to make an Arizona Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
We planted half that land in Rhone varieties and Malvasia Bianca, and I was blown away.”
That’s high praise for Willcox, a city that has never grown above 3,700 tucked in the
Sulphur Springs Valley in the southeastern corner of the state. The area was
not known for wine or much of anything.
“I then bought 100 acres across the road for my own project, planted 13,000 vines,
12 varieties, mostly Rhones. And Chard, of course. Dijon clones,” Pillsbury said.
“I sent my first batch off to the 2016 Chronicle Competition. I expected to get
laughed out of town. But the medals rolled in.” Since then, Pillsbury has taken
home two Best of Class, 11 double golds, 14 golds and 66 silvers.
Last year, among other awards, his Malvasia was honored with a double gold,
and his 2023 Chardonnay with a silver medal.
Today, Pillsbury is saluted as a pioneer who put the Arizona area on the map.
As he figures out the future for his vineyards, his award-winning
wines can still be found here: www.pillsburywine.com/findpillsburywine.html
