Widely used pesticide toxic to Honeybees

A team of doctors and researchers tested three widely used pesticides on Honeybees to study and see the impact and effect it has on the bee. The results proved the pesticides (Deltamethrin, fipronil and spinosad) were toxic to the Honeybees at some degree with certain amounts exposed. The pesticides initiated responses in the bodies of the bees which is often triggered by diseases and potentially harmful viruses. The results of this experiment show that these pesticides, along with many others that are used daily, can be very toxic and dangerous to the environment in many different ways.
