Mother Nature Network: Bees have a laundry list of problems going against them these days. Among them is air pollution, and a new study shows just how air pollution is affecting bees' ability to find food. By studying how changes in air chemistry affect foraging patterns of bees, researchers from Penn State illustrate that a rise in air pollution is a serious problem for pollinators.
According to PhysOrg:
Air pollutants interact with and break down plant-emitted scent molecules, which insect pollinators use to locate...
