=== Pesticide usage === Neonicotinoids (Neonics) are a class of synthetic insecticides that are the most widely applied pesticides today due to its water solubility and ability to treat a wide variety of pests. Neonics are highly environmentally persistent, and may contaminate terrestrial and aquatic habitats for as much as six years. Exposed honeybees' (Apis mellifera) have been seen to have lower reproductive output, reduction in nest building or failed to build nests, reduced foraging abilities, and weakened immunity.<ref name=":9">{{Cite journal |last1=Wood |first1=Thomas James |last2=Goulson |first2=Dave |date=7 June 2017|title=The environmental risks of neonicotinoid pesticides: a review of the evidence post 2013 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11356-017-9240-x |journal=Environmental Science and Pollution Research |volume=24 |issue=21 |pages=17285β17325 |doi=10.1007/s11356-017-9240-x |pmid=28593544 |pmc=5533829 |bibcode=2017ESPR...2417285W |issn=0944-1344}}</ref>
