Honeybees fail to discriminate floral scents in a complex learning task after consuming a neonicotinoid pesticide
Neonicotinoids are pesticides used to protect crops but with known secondary influences at sublethal doses on bees. Honeybees use their sense of smell to identify the queen and nestmates, to signal danger and to distinguish flowers during foraging. Few behavioural studies to date have examined how n...
