- •
Forager honey bees rely on learning and memory to recall resource patch locations.
- •
We used olfactory conditioning to test if selenium toxicity alters honey bee behavior.
- •
Acute sublethal selenium exposure impairs honey bee learning and long-term memory.
- •
Selenium-induced learning and memory impairments may reduce foraging efficiency.
- •
Inefficient foraging can reduce colony health.
