summaryPollinators, sus as honey bees, are exposed to mixes of pesticide residuals (fongicides, herbicides, insecticides) all along their life, whose effects remain often unknown and unanticipated. Here I will report data from the Observatoire des Residus de Pesticides (ORP) in bee food and toxicity tests demonstrating a new toxic subletal effect impacting the behaviour and foraging activity of bees.
