摘要：
The use of pesticides is one of the causes that contribute to the decline of bumblebees worldwide. Some effects of neonicotinoids are known on bumblebees from temperate climates; however, there are no studies carried out with species from tropical climates, in which there could be different effects since they have different ecological traits. We demonstrated that in a neo-tropical bumblebee, B. ephippiatus, exposed to field-realistic levels of imidacloprid, bee survival, and colony growth, were significantly reduced. The most important conclusion of our study is that tropical bumblebees are affected in a similar way to temperate species.
