Pesticide mixtures harm wild bees in European fields
Exposure to a complex mix of pesticides used in agriculture across Europe significantly harms wild bee health. This suggests that current risk assessments, which evaluate pesticides separately, are inadequate for the purpose. Continuous monitoring is needed to measure the effects of pesticides on the health of pollinators in the real world.
