Young Researchers Research Award: bee sensitivity to adverse effects of pesticides.

A study coordinated by INRA and involving ACTA, CNRS and the ITSAP-Institute of the bee shows that the degree of sensitivity of bees to the undesirable effects of pesticides varies according to the environmental conditions. The researchers observed that a neonicotinoid insecticide disrupts their ability to locate themselves, particularly in a complex landscape and under adverse weather conditions. These results were published in the journal Science in March 2012.
