| Effects of neonicotinoids on pollinating insects with emphasis on honey bees Abstract In the agricultural sector, neonicotinoids are used for seed disinfection and spraying, and they have a systemic nature and are very efficient in controlling sucking insects. But today, the decrease in the number of pollinating insects is a major concern, and this new class of insecticides is criticized as the main cause of this destruction. Neonicotinoids affect the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which is directly related to the health of pollinators, and they have a negative effect on various behavioral characteristics of pollinators, which leads to a decrease in their population. When entering the soil, neonicotinoids are absorbed by plants and enter the sap of the plant and can also be present in pollen and nectar and enter the bee's body and cause a decrease in alertness and memory. In this way, neonicotinoids disrupt the ecosystem and pollination. The reduction of the pollinator population can be the result of the failure of the nervous function of bees exposed to pesticides in the agricultural sector.
