CAP-funded studies also identified sub-lethal effects of neonicotinoids and
fungicides on bees.
It is hypothesized that these pesticides impair the bee’s immune system,
which leaves the bee
more susceptible to three important bee viruses. Future experiments are
needed to test these
hypotheses and conclusively identify mechanisms of immune response, as well
as how these
interactions might affect mortality and colony health.
