“…There is strong evidence to associate pesticide use with bee population decline (Woodcock et al., ) and consequently with potential losses to pollination services and crop yields (Stanley & Raine, ; Stanley, Garratt, et al., ). At the colony level, pesticide exposure is associated with negative impacts on fitnessâdetermining traits that include colony initiation, colony growth, and reproductive output (Arce et al., ; Baron, Jansen, Brown, & Raine, ; Baron, Raine, & Brown, , ; Rundlöf et al., ; Tsvetkov et al., ; Whitehorn, O'Connor, Wackers, & Goulson, ; Woodcock et al., ). The mechanisms that underlie these effects remain unclear, but pesticides have been shown to negatively impact key aspects of worker performance including foraging efficiency and navigation ability (Feltham, Park, & Goulson, ; Gill & Raine, ; Gill, RamosâRodriguez, & Raine, ; Henry et al., ; Stanley, Russell, Morrison, Rogers, & Raine, ).…”
