Pollination Peril: The Impact of Neonicotinoids’ on Foraging Behaviour of Indian Honey Bee (Apis cerana Fab). (Hymenoptera; Apidae) in Sunflower Fields

Archana B R, Muralimohan K, Belavadi V.V, Ramanappa T. M & Eshwarappa, G · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2024

Honey bees are essential for sunflower pollination, which boosts crop yield and quality. The decline in bee populations, worsened by neonicotinoid insecticides, poses a significant threat to agriculture. This study examined the effects of neonicotinoids -specifically imidacloprid...
