Abstract
A review of the more important literature on bee poisoning through the applications of chemicals to control insects, fungi, and weeds. With the increased use of such chemicals, the new methods of application, and the increasingly greater necessity in some areas to use bees for pollination, the problem of poisoning is becoming more acute. Some of the especially important aspects of the problem, incl. the effects of applications of rotenone compounds, pyrethrums, and sulfur on bees and the use of repellents, are discussed.
