Bee declines driven by combined stress from parasites, pesticides, and lack of flowers
BACKGROUND The species richness of wild bees and other pollinators has declined over
the past 50 years, with some species undergoing major declines and a few going extinct …

Sub-lethal but potentially devastating-The novel insecticide flupyradifurone impairs collective brood care in bumblebees
The worldwide decline in pollinating insects is alarming. One of the main anthropogenic
drivers is the massive use of pesticides in agriculture. Risk assessment procedures test …
