    Neonicotinoid pesticides are harmful to bees and hinder their ability to pollination according to preliminary results of a new study.





    Some flowers need to be shaken to release pollen. Bumblebees, bees and pollinating insects take care of them but the neonicotinoids weaken them and hinder pollination. As a result, insects are able to collect less pollen.

    The new study is in line with previous research that showed neonicotinoid pesticides they reduce the learning and memory of bees. In Europe, the moratorium on three neonicotinoid pesticides remained in effect from 2013 to 2015 and could be revived in 2017.

    Bees and bumble bees produce a vibration and a buzz that allows you to shake the flower corollas and to collect pollen more easily as explained by Penelope Whitehorn, expert onUniversity of Stirling, in Scotland, which conducted the study in question.

    By contracting the muscles they use to fly, bees produce a vibration that facilitates pollination, without moving their wings. The action of neonicotinoid pesticides hinders them in their business.

    The preliminary results of the study will be presented at the British Ecological Society's annual meeting for publication next year.

    The new study adds to numerous research that has already highlighted the negative consequences of neonicotinoid pesticides for bees. Indeed, neonicotinoids compromise their immune system, their ability to communicate, their reproductive and pollinating capacity.

    Bees continue to be in danger from pesticides, the loss of natural habitatsie gods climate changethe. They guarantee the food production of most of our food, but industrial agriculture using harmful pesticides is putting them in danger.



    In fear of the disappearance of pollinating insects, robot bees are already being planned, but we believe that it is necessary first of all to intervene to protect real bees. What do you think?
