IMPAIRED OLFACTORY ASSOCIATIVE BEHAVIOR OF HONEYBEE WORKERS DUE TO CONTAMINATION OF IMIDACLOPRID IN THE LARVAL STAGE.

Impaired olfactory associative behavior of honeybee workers due to contamination of imidacloprid in the larval stage.

The residue of imidacloprid in the nectar and pollens of the plants is toxic not only to adult honeybees but also the larvae.Our understanding of the risk of imidacloprid to larvae of the honeybees is still in a very early stage.In this study, the capped-brood, pupation and eclosion rates of the honeybee larvae were recorded after treating them dir
