A research project has, for the first time, investigated how a neonicotinoid pesticide, clothianidin, affects both honeybees and wild bees under field conditions in agricultural landscapes. The study shows that honeybees can cope with exposure to the pesticide, but that it has a strong negative impact on wild bees.

More people working from home does not necessarily mean less travel. On the contrary, leisure travel may increase to compensate for sedentary work in the home, according to transport researcher Lena Winslott Hiselius. This can become a challenge for public transport.
