They have been doing studies and it seems that bees that have been exposed to the pesticides known as Neonicitinoids do a poorer job of pollinating plants.
That has  implications for agriculture that are not good. Too many of our bees have been exposed to some degree. We are reducing the effectiveness of our pollinators. At some point our crops will be of such low yield that they will not be worth harvesting.

Knowing the negative effect of this pesticide is important. Now we need to act to protect the bees. Nothing less than a complete ban will be enough to protect our bees.
