Possible Culprit in Bee Deaths: A Study on Organosilicon Surfactant and Honeybee Larvae

This chapter discusses a study that identifies a possible culprit for failing honeybee colonies - an organosilicon surfactant. Researchers found that honeybee larvae exposed to this chemical and common bee hive viruses together appeared to die in greater numbers compared to bees exposed to the viruses or the chemical alone.
