Toxic effects of detected pyrethroid pesticides on honeybee (Apis mellifera ligustica Spin and Apis cerana cerana Fabricius).

ABSTRACT: To obtain the presence of environmental contaminants in honeybee and compare the toxicity of the detected pesticides to Apis mellifera ligustica Spin and Apis cerana cerana Fabricius. In this work, 214 honeybee samples were collected to simultaneous monitoring 66 pesticides between 2016 and 2017 in China. A modified QuEChERS extraction method coupled with multi-residue analytical methods by Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) and Gas chromatography-mass spectrum (GC-MS). Among, four pyrethroid pesticides were selected to test and compare the acute oral toxicities of two honeybees. And the survival risk of beta-cypermethrin was analyzed to them. Using this method, 21 compounds were detected, including 3 neonicotinoids, 5 pyrethroids, 5 organoph
