Henry et al. (Reports, 20 April, p. 348) used a model to predict that colony collapse in honey bees could be precipitated by pesticide-induced intoxication that disrupts navigation. Here, we show that collapse disappears when the model is recalculated with parameter values appropriate to the season when most pesticide-treated flowering crops bloom.
亨利等人(报告,2013 年 4 月 20 日,第 348 页)使用模型预测,杀虫剂引起的导航障碍导致蜜蜂中毒可能会引发蜂群崩溃。在这里,我们表明,当用适用于大多数施药开花作物开花的季节的参数值重新计算模型时,崩溃现象就会消失。
