Abstract
Foraging honey bees ( Apis mellifera L.), exposed to birdsfoot trefoil ( Lotus corniculatus L.) bloom treated with microencapsulated methyl parathion, continued to display pollen and midgut microcapsule contamination up to 9 days postspray. Nearly 10% of all pollen storage cells examined in combs taken from honey bee colonies exposed to the treated area were found to contain microcapsules.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
