Spinosad in the native stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata: regrettable non-target toxicity of a bioinsecticide.
TLDR
Findings indicate the hazardous nature not only of imidacloprid but also the bioinsecticide spinosad to adult workers of the native pollinator M. quadrifasciata and Bioinsecticides should not be exempted from risk assessment analysis due to their lethal and sublethal components.About:

Global pollinator declines: trends, impacts and drivers.
Simon G. Potts,Jacobus C. Biesmeijer,Claire Kremen,Peter J. Neumann,Oliver Schweiger,William E. Kunin +5 more
TL;DR: The nature and extent of reported declines, and the potential drivers of pollinator loss are described, including habitat loss and fragmentation, agrochemicals, pathogens, alien species, climate change and the interactions between them are reviewed.

Botanical insecticides, deterrents, and repellents in modern agriculture and an increasingly regulated world
TL;DR: In the context of agricultural pest management, botanical insecticides are best suited for use in organic food production in industrialized countries but can play a much greater role in the production and postharvest protection of food in developing countries.

Crop pollination from native bees at risk from agricultural intensification
TL;DR: It was found that diversity was essential for sustaining the service, because of year-to-year variation in community composition, and conservation and restoration of bee habitat are potentially viable economic alternatives for reducing dependence on managed honey bees.

TL;DR: Simulated exposure events on free-ranging foragers labeled with a radio-frequency identification tag suggest that homing is impaired by thiamethoxam intoxication, which offers new insights into the consequences of common neonicotinoid pesticides used worldwide.

Safeguarding production--losses in major crops and the role of crop protection.
TL;DR: Although viruses cause serious problems in potatoes and sugar beets in some areas, worldwide losses due to viruses averaged 6–7% on these crops and overall, weeds had the highest loss potential with animal pests and pathogens being less important.
