It should come as no surprise that the use of Roundup comes with many negative effects, not

just on humans, but the environment. Things that live in our environment also cannot escape

the consequences of Roundup. For example, a recent study published by The Journal of 

Experimental Biology found that Roundup actually causes honeybees to starve.

It is the first study to analyze both the short-term and long-term effects of the herbicide on

honeybees, and the effects are quite damaging. The study, conducted by researchers from the

University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, found that sub-lethal levels of Roundup still harmed

honeybees. Sub-lethal means that the dose is not strong enough to kill, but apparently enough

to maim. Using field-relative doses of the herbicide, researchers found that honeybees exposed

to Roundup exhibited decreased sensitivity to sucrose — leading to a decreased ability to track

and find food. Exposed bees also exhibited…
