Neonicotinoid insecticide travels through a soil food chain, disrupting biological control of non-target pests and decreasing soya bean yield (2015, background): “Lethal doses (i.e. LD50) of thiamethoxam and clothianidin are 4 4 and 3 5 ng bee 1, based on acute oral exposure (Laurino et al. 2013), and doses of thiamethoxam as low as 1 34 ng bee 1 can impair foraging (Henry et al. 2012).”
Pesticide Residues and Bees – A Risk Assessment (2014, background): “Moreover, the risk of neonicotinoids by dietary exposure above appears to be underestimated because it is known that these insecticides have chronic toxicities that exceed the known acute toxicities [62,73,96].”
