Metabolomics unveils the influence of dietary phytochemicals on residual pesticide concentrations in honey bees

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2021
The losses of honey bee colonies and declines of other insect pollinators have been associated with negative effects of pesticides. Honey bees as well as other pollinators are nectar and pollen foragers and thus are exposed to an extensive range of ...
