Ghislain, may I suggest that you download their supplemental data to review
the size of the "colonies" of bumblebees upon which they based their
model.  It would be very difficult for me to extrapolate the model to honey
bees.

However, it certainly appeared that if the first couple of bumblebees
founding a colony are dosed with an insecticide, that it can strongly
negatively impact the development of that bumblebee colony.
