Can you be more specific about what these toxins are, and how it's known that they kill bees or cause cancer over a period of twenty years?

In the case of neonicotinoids and honeybees recent research suggests it disrupts their ability to navigate back to the hive:

Do they actually die as a result, or just continue living somewhere else? Because if the problem is just that beekeepers lose them, that doesn't seem so bad as if it actually decimated them.
