Anyone that actually read the study will know that the actual paper said no such thing as is claimed above. Anyone that read the study (which should include posters who are pursuing advanced degrees in science) would note that the findings were only true in caged bees, and that there was no evidence in this study that there is any impact on actual colonies of free flying bees.
