Hello Nature readers,

Pesticides found in honey worldwide
Honey from all over the world contains neonicotinoid pesticides, which some studies have shown to harm bees. Citizen scientists collected honey from hundreds of sites, including remote islands, and 75% of their samples contained some level of the neonicotinoids. “The contamination confirms the inundation of bees and their environments with these pesticides, despite some recent efforts to decrease their use,” says the study.
