Microbial degradation of imidacloprid and toxicological analysis of its biodegradation metabolites in silkworm (Bombyx mori) (2013, background): “Imidacloprid is extremely toxic to nontarget insects, such as bees, Apis mellifera mellifera (48-h LD50 is as low as 5 ng/bee) [11].”
Modes of honeybees exposure to systemic insecticides: estimated amounts of contaminated pollen and nectar consumed by different categories of bees (2005, unknown): “, 2001), race (Suchail et al., 2000), colony (Suchail et al.”
Standard methods for toxicology research in Apis mellifera (2013, background): “At the individual level, subspecies and strains of honey bees are not equally susceptible to a given dose of AI (Ladas, 1972; Suchail et al., 2000).”
Effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on non-target invertebrates (2014, unknown): “2011), the honeybee subspecies tested (Suchail et al. 2000), the pattern of exposure (Illarionov 1991; Belzunces 2006) and prior exposure of bees to pesticides (Belzunces 2006).”
Toxicity of neonicotinoid insecticides on different honey bee genotypes (2013, methodology): “These contrasting results were likely due to the particular features of imidacloprid toxicology and its non-sigmoidal dose-effect relationships (Suchail et al., 2000), which has been observed also in our tests.”
Behavioural methods to assess the effects of pesticides on honey bees. (2002, unknown): “For example, the effect of an insecticide can be increased by the addition of a fungicide (Colin and Belzunces, 1992), or by various factors such as pollen feeding (Wahl and Ulm, 1983), season (Decourtye and Pham-Delègue, 2002) or genetic origin (Suchail et al., 2000).”
Neonicotinoids in bees: a review on concentrations, side-effects and risk assessment (2012, background): “Neonicotinoid insecticides act as neurotoxic agents and affect the mobility of bees by inducing symptoms such as knockdown, trembling, uncoordinated movements, hyperactivity and tremors (Lambin et al. 2001; Nauen et al. 2001; Suchail et al. 2001; Medrzycki et al. 2003; Colin et al. 2004).”
Systemic insecticides (neonicotinoids and fipronil): trends, uses, mode of action and metabolites (2014, background): “Imidacloprid and its metabolites are highly toxic to bees (Suchail et al. 2000, 2001).”
Toxicity and biochemical changes in the honey bee Apis mellifera exposed to four insecticides under laboratory conditions (2015, background): “Therefore, they showed lower LD50 values (much more toxicity) than those obtained in studies using technical grades of the tested insecticide, confirming that the formulation ingredients often increase the toxicity of the active ingredient for honey bees (Elbert et al. 2000; Iwasa et al. 2004; Sucha”
Mechanism for the differential toxicity of neonicotinoid insecticides in the honey bee, Apis mellife (2004, background): “Stark et al. (1995) and Suchail et al. (2000) previously reported LD50 values for imidacloprid in the range of 6.7–23.8 ng/bee, Senn et al. (1998) estimated the LD50 for thiamethoxam as 24 ng/bee, and Elbert et al. (2000) reported that the LD50 for thiacloprid was 24.2 mg/bee.”
