Interesting study, and informative. Not knowing the details though of the total effect of Roundup on flowering plants that bees readily feed upon, I still can suspect even though I may be proven wrong. The study seems to focus on direct application to the insect, but not what natural pesticides are produced by the plants when dying from Roundup application. Perhaps some common plants get really nasty, while others do nothing substantial.
