or

Detail description

Bumblebee colonies exposed to a common fungicide showed reduced growth and worker body mass when foraging on high-protein purple tansy, but not in buckwheat or diverse floral mixtures. Diverse floral habitats buffer pesticide impacts, supporting bumblebee health and resilience in agricultural landscapes.
