Sublethal effects of imidacloprid on honey bee colony growth and activity at three sites in the US
Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid pesticide heavily used by the agricultural industry and shown
to have negative impacts on honey bees above certain concentrations. We evaluated the
effects of different imidacloprid concentrations in sugar syrup using cage and field studies,
and across different environments. Honey bee colonies fed sublethal concentrations of
imidicloprid (0, 5, 20 and 100 ppb) over 6 weeks in field trials at a desert site (Arizona), a site
near intensive agriculture (Arkansas) and a site with little nearby agriculture but abundant …
