Omega-3 oil counteracts toxic effects of pesticides in pollinators, research suggests
New research suggests that the use of an omega-3 rich oil called "ahiflower oil" can prevent damage to honey bee mitochondria caused by neonicotinoid pesticides. This research is part of an ongoing project by Ph.D. student ...
