A recent study by researchers from Georgia Tech’s School of Biological Sciences reveals a new connection between sulfoxaflor — a next-generation pesticide — and disruptions to bumblebee reproduction and gene expression. And while its use may be well-intentioned, it's also crippling the DNA of many worker bees responsible for our pollination. This link matters more than ever as the world slowly watches our pollinators meet an uncertain fate.
