Das GPS-System der Bienen wird durch Insektizide gestört

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) and wild bees often living solitary are very essential for their pollination job in the ecological system. Bees also have one of the most fascinating „GPS“ systems in nature which is important to communicate forage plants at feeding places and to find home securely. Rachel Parkinson from the Bee Lab at the University of Oxford demonstrated the toxic influence of insecticides on the balance system of honey bees making them staggering and “torkeling” around like drunk.
