Dicamba drift: New use of an old herbicide disrupts pollinators

Caption

A bumblebee gathers nectar from a species of Asteraceae, a plant that looks similar to a species used in a study conducted by University of Michigan researcher Regina Baucom. The study examines the impact of the drift of dicamba, an herbicide, on pollinator populations in plants growing adjacent to agricultural fields.
