Environmental fate and exposure; neonicotinoids and fipronil (2014, background): “It was only in the early 2000s that assessments were conducted for imidacloprid using accurate data (Rortais et al. 2005; Halm et al. 2006).”
Standard methods for maintaining adult Apis mellifera in cages under in vitro laboratory conditions (2013, background): “For proper growth and maintenance, each worker larva requires 59.4 mg of carbohydrates and 5.4 mg of pollen during their development (Rortais et al., 2005); whereas adult workers require ~4 mg of utilizable sugars (Barker and Lehner, 1974) and consume ~5 mg pollen (Pernal & Currie 2000) per day.”
Chronic impairment of bumblebee natural foraging behaviour induced by sublethal pesticide exposure (2014, background): “These residues can persist in the nectar and pollen for the entirety of the blooming period, meaning that bees are potentially exposed for long periods (likely >28 days of this study) during the year (Rortais et al. 2005; Halm et al. 2006).”
Impacts of Pesticides on Honey Bees (2016, background): “5 days for larvae, 8–10 days for brood attendants and nurses, to 30 or more days for foragers [65].”
Pesticide Residues and Bees – A Risk Assessment (2014, background): “Among the worker bees, only nurses depend entirely on this kind of food, but the queen and larvae are fed substantial amounts of pollen as well ([76], Table 1).”
Presence of the a.i. imidacloprid on vegetation near corn fields sown with Gaucho ® dressed seeds (2006, background): “…a progressive decrease in the hive population and sublethal doses can determine behavioural changes (Colin et al., 2001; Decourtye et al., 2001; Guez et al., 2001; Suchail et al., 2001a; Bortolotti et al., 2003; Medrzycki et al., 2003; Colin et al., 2004; Rortais et al., 2005; Faucon et al., 2005).”
Diversity and abundance of solitary and primitively eusocial bees in an urban centre: a case study from Northampton (England) (2015, background): “…ones are land use changes and fragmentation (Goulson et al. 2008; Winfree et al. 2009), environmental pollution and pesticides (Kevan et al. 1997; Rortais et al. 2005), alien species including both, plants and pollinators (Thomson 2006; Stout and Morales 2009), climate change (Dormann et al.…”
High Levels of Miticides and Agrochemicals in North American Apiaries: Implications for Honey Bee Health (2010, background): “Since 1999, beekeepers in France experiencing bee losses described as ‘‘mad bee disease’’ have blamed the systemic neonicotinoid pesticide, imidacloprid [14].”
