This is one of the most important experiments taking place. The one that could help us understand the degree to which research done so far is relevant to bees in the wild.-So what we know so far? There's a good arguement for saying that diseases and...

That's why I'm heading to south Sussex. I've heard about an experiment happening right now to establish how much pesticide bees are really getting in the wild. So I'm joining in Professor Dave Goulson and his team to find out how they are going to do...
Lin has recently become R* spokesperson in the neonicotinoid debate.-The big advantage of neonicotinoids is that you can plant the seed already treated. It means the farmer doesn't have to spray. If you've got to spray, it's very expensive. It's got...
-There are at least pieces of evidence which show really serious impacts from levels of neonicotinoids that bees, wild bees could be exposed to in wild environment.And the arguement against the ban was laid out by one of the pesticide manufacturers....
Over 2 years of study, Randolf has shown that these doses neonicotinoids do affect bees' higher cognitive processes, especially their memory of the landscape around them.-We tested about 200 bees, both controlled bees and pestcide-treated bees, and w...
As the bee is trying to find her way home, she is tracked by the radar. She flies on auto pilot 500 meters northwest. She gets to where she thinks the hives should be, but of course it's not there, she has to use a different navigation system to find...
-You catch it the moment I see it, put it into a container like this, which contains 15 milligram of so-called solution.The bees are fed one of two different solutions. -We have c** which are fed with pesticide. We develop it in the circle solution a...
One thing that excited him for many years is just how advanced their communication is, especially their famous waggle dance, returning from a foraging trip, this bee is telling its coworkers precisely where she found her pollen. They just use the bod...
Our second suspects, pesticides, are the most controversial. This year the European commission analyzed the two-year-ban on the use of called Neony Cortenoise. They said the evidence now showed that they were in unacceptable danger to bees feeding on...
