Flight behavior is crucial for determining how bees forage. Any reduction or alteration in normal flight performance resulting from pesticide exposure could lead to colonies going hungry, and thus pollination services can be severely impacted. Foraging bees are essential pollinators for the crops the global population eat, and the wildflowers in the countryside, gardens, and parks. Any factor compromising bee flight performance could, therefore, impact this pollination service affecting the who
