将蜜蜂非致命性地暴露于噻虫嗪（新烟碱类全身性杀虫剂）会导致高死亡率，因为其水平可能使蜂群面临崩溃的风险。用射频识别标签对自由放养的觅食者进行的模拟暴露事件表明，噻虫嗪中毒会损害寻巢能力。这些实验为了解世界范围内常用的新烟碱类杀虫剂的后果提供了新的见解。
Nonlethal exposure of honey bees to thiamethoxam (neonicotinoid systemic pesticide) causes high mortality due to homing failure at levels that could put a colony at risk of collapse. Simulated exposure events on free-ranging foragers labeled with a radio-frequency identification tag suggest that homing is impaired by thiamethoxam intoxication. These experiments offer new insights into the consequences of common neonicotinoid pesticides used worldwide.
