Holy shit. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say they’re trying to kill us all.

"Across the 1705 papers, the effect of new vs. old pesticides was similar [...] There was, therefore, limited evidence that the negative environmental impact of pesticides on wider biodiversity has been reduced by the development and authorisation of novel active ingredients and formulations".
Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

🐝 Introducing the first #WildPoshSpecies: Bombus terrestris!
A curious fact is that individuals learn to visit unfamiliar but rewarding flowers faster when they observe another member of their species foraging on the same type of flower.
