Pesticide reduces bumblebee colony initiation and increases probability of population extinction
Pollinators are in global decline, and agricultural pesticides are a potential driver of this. Recent studies have suggested that pesticides may significantly impact bumblebee colonies, an important and declining group of pollinators. Here we show that colony founding queens, a critical yet vulnerab...
