A single exposure to urban air pollution may impair honeybees’ olfactory learning and memory

A honeybee is the most significant and economically important managed pollinator species worldwide; honeybees and thousands of wild pollinator species provide a pollination service to agriculture with an estimated value of $190 billion (USD) (€175.90) annually. However, exposure to contaminants, such as pesticides, can affect honeybee foraging behaviour and fitness. This study looks at the potential impact of urban air pollution on bee health.
