Honey Bees: Estimating the Environmental Impact of Chemicals - Chapter 15 (end) docx

... conclusion, there are two possibilities to avoid risk for honey bees: the nonexpression of the toxin in the tissues bees feed on, or the innocu- ousness of the toxin for bees. The risk assessment of the ... investigated such as the location of the bee on the plant (flowers or green parts, rank from the top of the flower visited on the plant), or the typ...
