Like Field trial with neonicotinoids: Honeybees are much more robust than bumblebeesApril 23, 2019 at 12:00 AM The insecticide clothianidin affects different species of bees in different ways. While it has no demonstrably negative effect on honeybees, it disrupts the growth of bumblebees and threatens the survival of entire colonies. However, the insecticide does not make either species more susceptible to diseases and pathogens, as a massive field study in Sweden shows. The latest findings were published in the renowned journal "Nature Communications".Tags: Science, Sweden 22 people like this.
