Neonicotinoids are the main cause of global bee declines.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Neonicotinoids are the main cause of global bee declines?

Unclear. Several sources link neonicotinoid exposure to harm in bees and attribute bee declines partly to these insecticides, but none establishes that neonicotinoids are the main cause of global bee declines.
