Commercial honey bee colony losses are projected to reach between 60 and 70 percent up from 40 and 50 percent in the past decade.

New research reveals pollinator shortages impacting up to two-Thirds of farms worldwide, jeopardizing global food security.

Conservationists sound the alarm as climate change, habitat loss, and pesticide use decimate butterfly populations.

The silverspot butterfly isn't in immediate danger of extinction, but rather science indicates that it will likely be endangered in the near future.

The bill will limit the use of neonics to trained professionals beginning in 2025.

“Our findings underscore the urgent need to take global action to mitigate climate change, alongside efforts to slow down land use changes and protect natural habitats to avoid harming insect pollinators.”

The answer to prevent further extinction of up to 41 percent of the world's insects is a “serious reduction in pesticide usage.”

Being exposed to multiple pesticides is concerning for the health of bees and could have serious implications for crop production, the function of ecosystems and human health.

The latest research offers another argument that U.S. regulators should follow the EU and ban neonicotinoids.

"When brought back to the hive sulfoxaflor "can impair the colony’s ability to breed, forage, fight disease and survive the winter."
