The UK government has allowed the emergency use of banned neonicotinoid pesticides in England for the third consecutive year.
These chemicals are responsible for impairing bee learning and memory—which affects a bee colony’s ability to forage for food. Worse still, the pesticides also get into the pollen and nectar, which the bees then carry back and expose to the whole hive
