US journal Science publishes study linking neonicotinoids to bee deaths – EURACTIV.com
Two of the most extensive field studies conducted to date in Europe and
Canada have confirmed the hypothesis that neonicotinoid insecticides are
harmful to bees and other pollinating species.
Neonicotinoids were found to cause a reduced capacity of bee species to
establish new populations in the year following exposure, the study
concluded. [Gordon/Flickr]
