This week on Lost in Science Stu looks at the buzz around bees and pesticides, specifically one group of pesticides, the neonicotinoids. Is it all gloom and doom as the internet would have us think?
Manisha looks at the phosphorus cycle and how megafauna poop plays a bigger role than expected in keeping our soils high in this essential nutrient.
