Researchers find weed killer could be linked to increase of bee deaths

The video discusses the exposure of bees to glyphosate, a common ingredient in weed killers. Scientists tracked bees by painting them with colored dots and discovered that glyphosate significantly reduces healthy gut bacteria in honey bees. This reduction could lead to increased infections or death due to harmful bacteria. The public is advised to avoid using weed killers containing glyphosate on flowers to protect bee populations.
