Flight behaviour is crucial for determining how bees forage, so reduced flight performance from pesticide exposure could lead to colonies going hungry and pollination services being impacted. Foraging bees are essential pollinators for the crops we eat and the wildflowers in our countryside, gardens and parks. Any factor compromising bee flight performance could therefore impact … More Pesticide exposure causes bumblebee flight to fall short. Bees exposed to a neonicotinoid pesticide fly only a third of the distance that unexposed bees are able to achieve.
