CASE STUDY: IMIDACLOPRID AND POLLINATORS

Working group pollinators and pesticides NL
- 80s-early 2000: several cases of toxicity of organophosphates, carbamates, etc. every year to honey bees - Since 2005: hardly a case of mortality of honeybees due to the use of pesticides despite huge use of neonicotinoids - Stop the group? - 1 case in 2012: 1 illegal use of a non-neonicotinoid - Australia : no abnormal mortality but no varroa mite - Science article on bumblebees (Felix Wackers) - Good experimental science - Realistic dose rate: improvement - But: far too long exposure with this dose rate: completely unrealistic!!!!! - Typical ivory tower work from university scientists - Conclusions to bumblebees in environment: not correct

- OPERA project: bee health in Europe - Fact and figures 2013

No strong evidence that lethal or sublethal effects play a role in bee colony mortality
