Omega-3 oil counteracts toxic effects of pesticides in pollinators, research suggests

New research suggests that the use of an omega-3 rich oil called "ahiflower oil" can prevent damage to honey bee mitochondria caused by neonicotinoid pesticides. This research is part of an ongoing project by Ph.D. student Hichem Menail of the Université de Moncton in New Brunswick, Canada. The research will be presented at the SEB Centenary Conference 2023, in Edinburgh, UK.
