Scientists from Dundee University are conducting a study into the decline of honey bees. They hope to find out whether pesticides are harming the brains of the bees and whether it damages their navigation and foraging skills. The scientists will work with the Scottish Beekeepers Association to radio tag bees as part of a three year study. The bee population has fallen by 15% in the last two years something that could impact on food production as bees are vital crop pollinators.
