A single exposure to urban air pollution may impair honeybees' olfactory learning and memory
A honeybee is the most significant and economically important managed pollinator
species worldwide; honeybees and thousands of wild pollinator species provide a
pollination service to agriculture with an estimated value of $190 billion (USD)
(EUR175.90) annually. However, exposure to contaminants, such as pesticides, can
affect honeybee foraging behaviour and fitness. This study looks at the
potential impact of urban air pollution on bee health.
