Article Synopsis
- Bee colony health is being negatively impacted by pesticides, particularly imidacloprid, which affects queen bees and their reproductive success.
- Exposure to imidacloprid led to significant cellular and structural changes in the midgut and ovaries of queen bees, potentially causing nutrient malabsorption and reproductive issues.
- While the sperm morphology remained unchanged, the overall effects of imidacloprid on queen bee health could hinder both fertilization and colony growth.
