A Common Pesticide Decreases Foraging Success and Survival in Honey Bees [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Nonlethal exposure of honey bees to thiamethoxam (neonicotinoid systemic pesticide) causes high mortality due to homing failure at levels that could put a colony at risk of collapse. Simulated exposure events on free-ranging foragers labeled with a radio-frequency identification tag suggest that homing is impaired by thiamethoxam intoxication. These experiments offer new insights into the consequences of common neonicotinoid pesticides used worldwide. Honey bees cannot find their way home after exposure to sublethal doses of a widely used insecticide. Honey bees cannot find their way home after exposure to sublethal doses of a widely used insecticide.
