Still Waters Posted October 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Exhaust fumes from diesel could be changing the scent of flowers and making it harder for honeybees to collect pollen and nectar, according to a new study. Tests in a laboratory designed to mimic the effect of exhaust fumes on the smell of oilseed rape showed that the bees' ability to recognise the odour was reduced by about two thirds. http://www.telegraph...n-foraging.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
