Bee poisoning incidents in Germany in spring 2008 caused by abrasion of active substance from treated seeds during sowing of maize. (2009, background): “The possibility of emission of dusts containing active substances from dressed seeds during sowing of imidacloprid-treated maize was already shown by Greatti et al. (2003, 2006).”
Systemic insecticides (neonicotinoids and fipronil): trends, uses, mode of action and metabolites (2014, background): “…metabolism in plants leading to the appearance of different metabolites during the plant life or, at least, up to the harvest of plants consumed by humans or breeding animals (Laurent and Rathahao 2003; Greatti et al. 2006; Ford and Casida 2008; Karmakar et al. 2009; Karmakar and Kulshrestha 2009).”
Toxicity of neonicotinoid insecticides to honey bees: laboratory tests. (2011, unknown): “…for seed dressing or crop spraying, were recorded in many countries during the past few years, and various limitation in their use were enforced (Greatti et al., 2003; 2006; Colin et al., 2004; Janke et al., 2009; Pistorius et al., 2009; Forster et al., 2009; Maini et al., 2010; Marzaro et al.,…”
Standard methods for toxicology research in Apis mellifera (2013, background): “Pesticides can be dispersed by air during sowing operations when pesticide-dressed seeds are used and contaminated dusts can subsequently deposit on soil and vegetation, posing an exposure risk to foraging bees (Greatti et al., 2003, 2006).”
Multiple Routes of Pesticide Exposure for Honey Bees Living Near Agricultural Fields (2012, unknown): “In studies in maize, guttation droplets produced by plants grown from neonicotinoid treated seed were shown to have from 10–100 mg/L of the pesticides and were found to cause paralysis and eventual death when fed to honey bees [19], while other studies have found traces of the seed treatment imidacl”
Sublethal doses of imidacloprid decreased size of hypopharyngeal glands and respiratory rhythm of honeybees in vivo (2013, unknown): “…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. 2011; Marzaro et al. 2011).”
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).”
