Effect of glyphosate on the foraging activity of European honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)

Glyphosate is a widely used agrochemical. Nevertheless, only few studies have investigated its effect on bees, specifically influence their foraging activity. This article provides summary of the prominent research results this issue, published in journals field experimental biology. The commonly concentrations glyphosate honey bee navigation has been evaluated several studies, as well that are reportedly sublethal. Exposure to herbicide increases flight time back hive and affects trajectories these bees. These imply at certain reduces sensitivity nectar rewards associative memories. contact bees with non-lethal sublethal effects affect foraging. In future, behaviour natural environment need be explored.
