Evaluation of acute contact toxicity of imidacloprid and thiacloprid to honey bees: A comparative analysis of effects on survival and behavioral activity
The paper presents the results of a study of the acute contact toxicity of imidacloprid and thiacloprid to honey bees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758). The experiment assessed survival and behavioral activity of insects at 4, 24, and 48 hours after a single exposure to various concentrations of the insecticides. It was found that both compounds exhibit high insecticidal activity; ...
Neonicotinoids and their effects on honey bees: a comparative analysis of the acute oral toxicity of imidacloprid and thiacloprid
A comparative study of the acute oral toxicity of the neonicotinoid insecticides imidacloprid and thiacloprid with respect to honey bees (Apis mellifera) was conducted. Under laboratory conditions, survival dynamics, changes in locomotor activity, and the repellent effect were examined under exposure to various concentrations of these compounds. The study established that both insecticides exhibit ...
