No evidence for neonicotinoid preferences in the bumblebee Bombus impatiens
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Neonicotinoid pesticides can have a multitude of negative sublethal effects on bees. Understanding their impact on wild populations requires accurately estimating the dosages bees encounter under natural conditions. This is complicated by the possibility

Review of the methods to determine the hazard and toxicity of pesticides to bumblebees [PDF]
, 2001 Methods to determine the impact of pesticides on bumblebees are described. They are classified into laboratory tests to determine the acute toxicity and the hazard to bumblebees, (semi) field tests, and brood tests.
