Comparison of Pesticide Exposure in Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and Bumble Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae): Implications for Risk Assessments
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Environmental Entomology"
DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvy168
Abstract: Abstract To date, regulatory pesticide risk assessments have relied on the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) as a surrogate test species for estimating the risk of pesticide exposure to all bee species. However,… read more here.
