Next-generation sequencing uncovers what's stressing bumblebees

What’s stressing out bumblebees? To find out, York University scientists used next-generation sequencing to look deep inside bumblebees for evidence of pesticide exposure, including neonicotinoids, as well as pathogens, and found both. Using a conservation genomic approach – an emerging field of study that could radically change the way bee health is assessed – the
