New research confirms pollinators face chronic exposure to neonicotinoids. A 2024 study published in Science of the Total Environment found persistent pesticide residues in wildflower nectar and pollen near treated crops—posing serious risks to bees, butterflies, birds, and food security.

Also, discussed is new research that proving how imidacloprid cripples the echo location ability in bats and causes brain cell death. This new research proves what top scientists have been warning us about for decades. Stay tuned!
