Imidacloprid slows the development of preference for rewarding food sources in bumblebees (Bombus impatiens)
Bee pollination is economically and ecologically vital and recent declines in bee populations
are therefore a concern. One possible cause of bee declines is pesticide use. Bumblebees …

Country-specific effects of neonicotinoid pesticides on honey bees and wild bees
Neonicotinoid seed dressings have caused concern world-wide. We use large field
experiments to assess the effects of neonicotinoid-treated crops on three bee species across …
