- Bee cups: single-use cages for honey bee experiments (2009, neutral): “Others have used small plastic cups (Iwasa et al., 2004) and even ‘Benton’ wooden queen cages for experiments with a small number of workers (S. Pernal, pers. comm.).”
- High Levels of Miticides and Agrochemicals in North American Apiaries: Implications for Honey Bee Health (2010, background): “A recent landscape-level study of imidacloprid seed treatments on maize in Belgium demonstrated no impacts on honey bees [68]; however, their high prevalence with EBI and other fungicides [49,66] including myclobutanil [16], although refuted by some field results [69], may have more direct impacts o”
- Pesticide Residues and Bees – A Risk Assessment (2014, background): “For thiacloprid the synergistic factor is as high as 560-fold, and for acetamiprid 100-fold [67], so their safety features [87] become all of a sudden hazardous.”
- Standard methods for toxicology research in Apis mellifera (2013, methodology): “For example, piperonyl butoxide acts synergistically with both thiacloprid (Iwasa et al., 2004) and tau-fluvalinate (Johnson et al., 2006) by inhibiting the metabolism of these pesticides and greatly increasing their toxicity to bees.”
- Reduction in homing flights in the honey bee Apis mellifera after a sublethal dose of neonicotinoid insecticides (2013, background): “…indicate ranges of toxicity values reported in the literature): 21.8 (21.8-44) ng/bee for clothianidin (Schmuck and Keppler, 2003; EPA, 2003; Iwasa et al., 2004; European Commission, 2005; Frazier et al., 2011), 75 (24-75) ng/bee for dinotefuran (Iawasa et al., 2004; EPA, 2004), 130…”
- Insecticides Mode of Action in Relation to Their Toxicity to Non-Target Organisms (2012, background): “thiacloprid and acetamiprid) are three orders of magnitude less toxic to honeybees in spite of having the same mode of action as the other compounds in this class [64].”
- Effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on non-target invertebrates (2014, positive): “Piperonyl butoxide also has been found in pollen and has been shown to synergize toxicity of some neonicotinoids (thiacloprid and acetamiprid) up to 244-fold in the laboratory (Iwasa et al. 2004).”
- Toxicity and biochemical changes in the honey bee Apis mellifera exposed to four insecticides under laboratory conditions (2015, methodology): “Reports showed that the majority of neonicotinoid metabolites were also shown to contribute to their toxicity, except for acetamiprid, as none of its known metabolites were yet found to be toxic (Iwasa et al. 2004).”
- Neonicotinoid contamination of global surface waters and associated risk to aquatic invertebrates: a review. (2015, background): “latter as reported in bees (Iwasa et al., 2004).”
- Planting of neonicotinoid‐treated maize poses risks for honey bees and other non‐target organisms over a wide area without consistent crop yield benefit (2017, neutral): “9 ng per bee) (Iwasa et al. 2004) according to the global proportion detected in our samples.”
- Acute toxicity of essential oils and other natural compounds to the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, and to larval and adult worker honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) (2009, background): “For example, Albo et al. (2003) found that thymol was at least 50 times less toxic to worker bees than dimethoate, whilst Iwasa et al. (2004) reported LC50 values <15 µg / bee for neonicotinoid insecticides.”
- Bee declines driven by combined stress from parasites, pesticides, and lack of flowers (2015, background): “Piperonyl butoxide is often added to pesticide formulations and also acts synergistically with some neonicotinoids, increasing toxicity by a factor of up to 244 (111).”
- Multiple Routes of Pesticide Exposure for Honey Bees Living Near Agricultural Fields (2012, background): “Propiconazole has been shown to synergize toxicity of some neonicotinoids (thiacloprid and acetamiprid) to honey bees in the laboratory, although the same results have not been shown in field studies [10,29].”
- Fatal powdering of bees in flight with particulates of neonicotinoids seed coating and humidity implication (2012, background): “9 ng/bee (Iwasa et al. 2004).”
