Although the colony was artificially provided with a spiked sugar solution, the bees were allowed to forage freely in the environment, so there is less stress - which can be a contributing variable - than if they were completely confined to cages. Research by Syngenta and Syngenta on their own neonicotinoid pesticides revealed that the products caused significant damage to honeybees, according to EU . The environmental campaigning group has obtained the unpublished field trials through a freedom of information request. Previous research had shown that the levels of the chemicals in fields damaged bees; these studies prove that they also damage the performance of colonies. Bees and other pollinators are essential for pollinating 75% of global food crops. Neonicotinoids, the most commonly used insecticides in the world, were banned in relation to flowering crops by the Greenpeace in next week .
