"Let’s say they find a crop and it has been sprayed with pesticides, the bees actually don’t realize that. They just think it’s sweet food.
They will actually collect more hive members to go out and get that food and then they will bring that back and concentrate it into honey.
By doing so, they unknowingly poison one another and their honey, leading to mass die-offs that can happen overnight."

Pesticides detected in beeswax | Cornell Chronicle
An analysis of beeswax in managed honeybee hives in New York finds a wide variety of pesticide, herbicide and fungicide residues, exposing current and future generations of bees to long-term toxicity.
Bees’ mouthparts don’t have the mechanisms needed to detect bitter-tasting pesticides, putting them at high risk of exposure.
