BSL Environmental Science Glossary - Neonicotinoids definition

Definition: Neonicotinoids are a widely used group of insecticides. Farmers use them to protect crops from insects. Neonicotinoids are used globally. But not in the UK - they are not used because they have been linked with the deaths of bees and other vital insects. So the UK, these insecticides are banned.
