  <title><![CDATA[A ‘Safe’ Pesticide Is Damaging Bumblebee DNA, Study Finds]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>A <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0147651326004306?__cf_chl_rt_tk=2q8uD8uXh84kCL9YRNH1YfYT14Uau.i3L9.GjAXSJTA-1783612574-1.0.1.1-xNgsX9ZYBnnQAbWCthPkMwJ8fMq.KwVoNqcG3UmFYVs">recent study</a> 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.</p><p><em>A similar story appeared in </em><a href="https://scitechdaily.com/common-pesticide-alters-bumblebee-genes-threatening-future-pollination/"><em>SciTech Daily</em></a><em>.</em></p>]]></body>
