Is it possible that bumblebees are exposed to pesticides differently to honeybees in agricultural environments?

Find out the answer in this blog I wrote for Autumn/Winter 2023 newsletter of @BumblebeeTrust!

Our research showed that glyphosate applied as desiccant may increase the exposure risk of pollinators and advised its re-evaluation. (πŸ‘‰ doi.org/10.1016/j.he...).

Good to see that glyphosate WILL NO LONGER be used as desiccant for the next 10 years πŸ‘

Thread carefully: your gym clothes could be leaching toxic chemicals Workout wear made from synthetic fabric is treated with chemicals, which research shows can be absorbed through skin

Mind what you wear in general and which materials/fabrics come in contact with your skin πŸ˜‰
