Scientists have found two types of chemicals called neonicotinoids and coumaphos which are both present in common pesticides. These chemicals interfere with any insects ability to learn or remember information. Experiments shown that exposure to these chemicals when put together decreed brain activity. The bees are falling in numbers because they have been hit with a vast number of diseases, losses of habitat and in the US the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder has caused numbers to plummet. This is really bad news because Albert Einstein said that the human population will die out after four years if there were no honey bees so they really are a animal to conserve.
