The effect of olfactory exposure to non-insecticidal agrochemicals on bumblebee foraging behavior.

Declines in bumblebee populations have led to investigations into potential causes - including agrochemical effects on bumblebee physiology. The indirect effects of agrochemicals (i.e. behavior modulation) have been postulated, but rarely directly tested. Olfactory information is critical in mediati...
