Response by Henry et al. to Comment by Cresswell and Thompson on “A Common Pesticide Decreases Foraging Success and Survival in Honey Bees”

Cresswell and Thompson have suggested an elegant way to improve honey bee colony simulations when forecasting the fate of colonies exposed to pesticides. Following their recommendations, we rescaled the model on a sound empirical data set. The adjusted forecast is bleaker than their tentative scenario.
