The objective of this study was to test this hypothesis. Laboratory repeated dose toxicity tests on in vitro reared larvae were carried out using thiamethoxam.

Quantitative studies concerning total and differential haemocyte counts and abnormalities were performed under laboratory conditions for larvae, pupae and adults collected from a wild Apis dorsata colony.

Agrochemical risk assessment that takes into account only pesticide active ingredients without the spray adjuvants commonly used in their application will miss important toxicity outcomes detrimental to non-target species, including humans.

Throughout history, honey has been used for many different purposes and due to its medicinal properties, has been one of the products marketed by traders.

Greece has the perhaps dubious distinction of being the first area in which the use of moveable combs has been recorded.
