[HTML][HTML] A neonicotinoid pesticide impairs foraging, but not learning, in free-flying bumblebees
F Muth, AS Leonard - Scientific Reports, 2019 - nature.com
Neonicotinoids are widely-used pesticides implicated in the decline of bees, known to have
sub-lethal effects on bees' foraging and colony performance. One proposed mechanism for …
