We know that #bumblebees can be exposed to glyphosate when foraging in the environment we need a better understanding of the hazard this herbicide poses to bumblebees, which we investigate through the @ProtectsProject read the full paper here: setac.onlinelibrary.wiley.co… (6/6)

I really enjoyed giving my talk at #ICE2022 today!
21 Jul 2022
LIVE from #ICE2022: @aoreilly28 and her team at the @SUSPOLL_ire project conducted a test on effect of two commonly used insecticides on commercial #bumblebee colonies. What would be the short- and long-term consequences on foraging behaviour & #pollination services. #Hymenoptera

It can be a long road to become a scientist, but can be a lot of fun on the way! @aoreilly28 was inspired by her bee net and never looked back! It can be used to research bees..but also ward of snakes and protect from bears! @ucdagfood @UCDEarth @SUSPOLL_ire #soapboxsciencedublin
