Neonicotinoids or “neonics” are pesticides sprayed on food crops to poison pests. However, they harm other non-target species including bees. Bees pollinate 87.5% of food crops including fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetables, so without them we could face a food crisis, and the natural ecosystem could be disrupted.
