Assessment of Chronic Sublethal Effects of Imidacloprid on Honey Bee Colony Health
Here we present results of a three-year study to determine the fate of imidacloprid residues in hive matrices and to assess chronic sublethal effects on whole honey bee colonies fed supplemental pollen diet containing imidacloprid at 5, 20 and 100 μg/kg over multiple brood cycles. Various endpoints of colony performance and foraging behavior were measured during and after exposure, including wi...

متن کاملSublethal Effects of Imidacloprid on Honey Bee Colony Growth and Activity at Three Sites in the U.S.
Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid pesticide heavily used by the agricultural industry and shown to have negative impacts on honey bees above certain concentrations. We evaluated the effects of different imidacloprid concentrations in sugar syrup using cage and field studies, and across different environments. Honey bee colonies fed sublethal concentrations of imidicloprid (0, 5, 20 and 100 ppb) o...
متن کاملAssessment of Sublethal Effects of Imidacloprid on Honey Bee and Colony Health Final report submitted to the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign
Colony collapse disorder (CCD) has caused much concern among beekeepers nationwide. While the specific causes are still unknown, many believe that honey bees have reached a tipping point wherein the colony can no longer protect itself from multiple stresses. One possible stressor is exposure to pesticides used within the hive as well as those used on plants that bees visit for nectar and pollen...
متن کاملChronic sublethal stress causes bee colony failure
Current bee population declines and colony failures are well documented yet poorly understood and no single factor has been identified as a leading cause. The evidence is equivocal and puzzling: for instance, many pathogens and parasites can be found in both failing and surviving colonies and field pesticide exposure is typically sublethal. Here, we investigate how these results can be due to s...
