We have compared the sublethal effects of two insecticides in the honeybee (imidacloprid and deltamethrin) in both semi-field and laboratory conditions. A sugar solution containing 24 microg kg(-1)… (More)
Imidacloprid is a chloronicotinyl insecticide which interacts with insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Thirty minutes after oral treatment of honeybees with imidacloprid, the olfactory learning… (More)
Using a conditioned proboscis extension response (PER) assay, honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) can be trained to associate an odor stimulus with a sucrose reward. Previous studies have shown that… (More)
The adverse effects of 158 pesticides to the Honey bee (Apis mellifera), the alfalfa leafcutting bee (Megachile rotundata) and the alkali bee (Nomia melanderi) were compared by means of various… (More)
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model was derived for estimating the acute toxicity of pesticides on the honey bee. Chemicals were described by means of autocorrelation… (More)
A Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) model was proposed for estimating the acute toxicity of pesticides to Apis mellifera. Chemicals were described from the autocorrelation method… (More)
