A worldwide survey of neonicotinoids in honey
- nerdponx 9y agoThe punchline from the abstract: Our results confirm the exposure of bees to neonicotinoids in their food throughout the world. The coexistence of neonicotinoids and other pesticides may increase harm to pollinators. However, the concentrations detected are below the maximum residue level authorized for human consumption.
