Research in Ontario and Quebec has found honeybees have been exposed to a controversial pesticide for much longer than previously thought.
Neo-nicotine-oids have been found in virtually all pollen studied, and have spilled over into wildflowers, maple trees, clover and dadelions.
Amro Zayed, the lead author of the study says what's being done now generates a byproduct of neonicotinoids in environments around corn fields, and says that this is most likely causing a reduction in honeybee's health.
