Sublethal doses of imidacloprid decreased size of hypopharyngeal glands and respiratory rhythm of honeybees in vivo (2013, unknown): “Another way that honeybees are exposed to neonicotinoid insecticides arises when seed-dressed plants are sown and dust disperses from the sowing machine and drifts to the wild vegetation, thereby negatively impacting foraging honeybees (Greatti et al. 2003, 2006; Maini et al. 2010; Girolami et al. 2”
Pesticide Residues and Bees – A Risk Assessment (2014, background): “Attempts to explain the CCD have focussed on two main fronts: i) biological diseases, which includes virus [11] Nosema infections [12], parasites such as mites [13,14] and hive beetles [15]; and ii) pesticides, including not only insecticides and acaricides but also fungicides and herbicides [16,17]”
Lethal aerial powdering of honey bees with neonicotinoids from fragments of maize seed coat. (2011, background): “Bulletin of Insectology 64 (1): 119-126, 2011 ISSN 1721-8861 Lethal aerial powdering of honey bees with neonicotinoids from fragments of maize seed coat”
Reduction in homing flights in the honey bee Apis mellifera after a sublethal dose of neonicotinoid insecticides (2013, background): “Although many factors may account for these declines (Moritz et al., 2010; Neuman and Carreck, 2010), one potential factor is the spraying of pesticides on agricultural fields (Oldroyd, 2007; Maini et al., 2010; Orantes-Bermejo et al., 2010).”
Sub-lethal exposure to neonicotinoids impaired honey bees winterization before proceeding to colony collapse disorder (2014, unknown): “However, recent scientific findings linking CCD with exposure to neonicotinoids, a group of systemic insecticides, appear to be gaining traction (Maini et al., 2010; Pareja et al., 2011; Lu et al., 2012; Farooqui, 2013; Matsumoto, 2013) and have led to new regulatory control (Erickson, 2012).”
Effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on non-target invertebrates (2014, unknown): “No single cause for high losses has been identified, and high losses are associated with multiple factors including pesticides, habitat loss, pathogens, parasites and environmental factors (Decourtye et al. 2010; Mani et al. 2010; Neumann and Carreck 2010; Kluser et al. 2011).”
Toxicity of neonicotinoid insecticides to honey bees: laboratory tests. (2011, unknown): “…sub-lethal, and behavioural effects are generally called upon for a thorough understanding of neonicotinoid side effects on honey bees (cfr. Maini et al., 2010 and the literature cited therein), it seems likely that some new information might also arise from acute toxicity tests, if they…”
Neonicotinoids, bee disorders and the sustainability of pollinator services (2013, unknown): “This led to various harmful effects [10,37,38,39 (cid:3)(cid”
Impacts of Pesticides on Honey Bees (2016, background): “Not surprisingly, the colony collapse disorder (CCD) has been linked by some authors not only to parasites and diseases but also to pesticide usage [10].”
Bees and pesticide regulation: Lessons from the neonicotinoid experience (2020, background): “Since then, a growing body of scientific evidence has established a link between neonicotinoids and bee declines (Maini et al., 2010; Goulson, 2013; Godfray et al., 2014, 2015; IPBES, 2016; Woodcock et al., 2016a).”
Effects of Fungicide and Herbicide Chemical Exposure on Apis and Non-Apis Bees in Agricultural Landscape (2020, background): “…pollinators over the last decade has dramatically increased the amount of research devoted to this particular area of ecological science, and as a result, several key contributing factors have been identified and reviewed (Maini et al., 2010; Meeus et al., 2018; Belsky and Joshi, 2019).”
ECOBEE: a tool for long-term honey bee colony monitoring at the landscape scale in West European intensive agroecosystems (2014, background): “Different possible causes have been suggested, such as pesticides, parasites and diseases, lack of floral resources and biodiversity erosion in cropping landscapes (Maini et al., 2010).”
Standard methods for toxicology research in Apis mellifera (2013, background): “Agrochemicals are of particular interest because they often are accused of causing sublethal effects in individual bees and the bee colony, possibly even leading to the loss of entire colonies and even apiaries (Maini et al., 2010; Desneux et al., 2007).”
Toxicity of neonicotinoid insecticides on different honey bee genotypes (2013, background): “…orientation difficulties, and social activity impairment (e.g. Guez et al., 2001; Bortolotti et al., 2003; Medrzycki et al., 2003; Decourtye et al., 2004a and 2004b; Ramirez-Romero et al., 2005; Desneux et al., 2007; El Hassani et al., 2008; Yang et al., 2008; Maini et al., 2010; Matsumoto, 2013).”
Systemic insecticides (neonicotinoids and fipronil): trends, uses, mode of action and metabolites (2014, background): “However, their broad spectrum leads to undesirable effects on non-target insects (Balança and de Visscher 1997; Sánchez-Bayo and Goka 2006; Maini et al. 2010; Lanzoni et al. 2012; Hayasaka et al. 2012a, b; Lu et al. 2012; Fogel et al. 2013; Goulson 2013; Matsumoto 2013; Sanchez-Bayo et al. 2013;…”
Fatal powdering of bees in flight with particulates of neonicotinoids seed coating and humidity implication (2012, background): “Neonicotinoid concentrations in the vegetation at the margins of the seeded areas were shown to be about 50 ppb (Greatti et al. 2006; Maini et al. 2010), not sufficient to cause acute toxicity in foraging honeybees (Yang et al. 2008).”
