ab = 'Neonicotinoid seed dressings have caused concern world-wide. We use
large field experiments to assess the effects of neonicotinoid-treated crops
on three bee species across three countries (Hungary, Germany, and the
United Kingdom). Winter-sown oilseed rape was grown commercially with
either seed coatings containing neonicotinoids (clothianidin or
thiamethoxam) or no seed treatment (control). For honey bees, we found
both negative (Hungary and United Kingdom) and positive (Germany)
effects during crop flowering. In Hungary, negative effects on honey
bees (associated with clothianidin) persisted over winter and resulted
in smaller colonies in the following spring (24% declines). In wild
bees (Bombus terrestris and Osmia bicornis), reproduction was
negatively correlated with neonicotinoid residues. These findings
point to neonicotinoids causing a reduced capacity of bee species
to establish new populations in the year following exposure.'
