Abstract
It was found that honey bees can collect pollen from flowers contaminated with Sevin (1-naphthyl [image]-methylcarbamate) and return to the hive with normal pollen loads. Bees working in the field die, for the most part, at the hive and not in the field. A chemical method for the analysis of Sevin in pollen and bees is described and was used to determine the extent of pollen contamination and the amount of insecticide found in bees killed as the result of aerial spraying.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
