Gathering last-minute sips of nectar and pollen, bees at the Washington State University Teaching Apiary made the most of an unusually warm day before winter’s cold struck.
While neonicotinoid pesticides can harm honey bees, a new study by WSU researchers shows that the substances pose little risk to bees in real-world settings.
