Scientists exposed bumblebees to low doses of a modern pesticide; the bees survived, but genes linked to producing the next generation began changing
- But new research suggests a common pesticide might be creating hidden risks for these vital insects.
- According to researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology, they discovered that low-dose exposure to the pesticide sulfoxaflor may interfere with bumblebee reproduction by changing gene activity in important tissues.
- It has been reported in the research that the findings highlight potential impacts of contemporary agricultural
