In 2014 @sejarnold & I reported lupin pollen toxins led to bumblebee colonies producing smaller offspring https://t.co/5XBc4uSUAL It turns out this could be more significant than we realised after this outstanding paper by @NatalieHempel et al on bee s

@Amy_L_Toth @FulbrightArg I wonder if lupins are ideal food for B. dahlbomii though? Lupinus mutabilis which is a native S American species further north affects brood development in Bombus spp. owing to quinolizidine alkaloids in the pollen. https://t.co/

Lupins: a crucial global food for millions and fodder for livestock. @KewMattNelson is looking for 'sweet' genes to improving production in #Ethiopia which might also make them safer for bees https://t.co/Odr4AaJVzQ @KewScience @NRInstitute https://t.co/Nx

Crop lupins could be bad for our bees- I'm reading this on #springerlink https://t.co/ZJmgvD3EvF
