Air pollution blocks normal communication between plants and insects, which has a greater impact on pollinating insects such as bees  Although no one has been able to produce a complete monitoring data on the extent of damage to the honeybee population at the present stage, the study found that the common plant volatile substance myrcene is easily destroyed by diesel exhaust  The lack of myrcene will make bees lose their way in the search for honey sources
After the researchers removed the myrcene from the flower scent, only 37% of the bees were able to identify the source of honey
Air pollution prevents bees from finding honey sources
