NEONICOTINOID PRESENCE DETECTED IN POLLEN AND HONEY SAMPLES
@ Researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health have carried out a study from which it has been found that out of total samples collected from foraging bees in Massachusetts, more than 70% of them were containing neonicotinoid// ℗

@ Study*s lead author Chensheng (Alex) Lu, associate professor of environmental exposure biology in the Department of Environmental Health, stated, **Data from this study clearly demonstrated the ubiquity of neonicotinoids in pollen and honey samples that bees are exposed to during the seasons when they are actively foraging across Massachusetts**// ℗
@ Lu said that the neonicotinoids found are of the level that could prove detrimental for health of the bees// Researchers have affirmed that a loss in honey bee colonies has been witnessed since 2006// This has led researchers, experts, farmers, policymakers and scientists to be quite concerned as bees are main pollinators of almost one-third of all crops across the world// ℗
