Honeybee colonies compensate for pesticide-induced effects on royal jelly composition and brood survival with increased brood production

Abstract Sublethal doses of pesticides affect individual honeybees, but colony-level effects are less well understood and it is unclear how the two levels integrate. We studied the effect of the neonicotinoid pesticide clothianidin at field realistic concentrations on small colonies. We found that e...
