Pesticides - a guide to their effects on honey bees

primefact cover
Primefact Number: 149    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: May 2006

Beekeeping management practices require beekeepers to maintain high populations of bees in their hives, have their bees on a honey-producing crop, or have their apiaries in particular areas for pollination purposes. As a result there will be periods of time when apiaries will be at risk of damage from pesticides.

This Primefact provides a basic knowledge of the chemical name, product name and toxic effect on honey bees of pesticides which beekeepers are likely to come into contact with when operating in areas where pesticides are applied.
