Article Synopsis
- * Thiamethoxam targets the nervous system of insects, leading to severe health issues, and its harmful effects were assessed in the stingless bee Partamona helleri, specifically looking at chronic exposure to low concentrations found in pollen.
- * The study found that thiamethoxam exposure caused significant damage to the midgut, increased oxidative stress, and negatively impacted the behavior of P. helleri, affecting their overall health and ability to function as pollinators.
The stingless bee plays a role in pollinating both native and cultivated plants in the Neotropics. However, its populations can be reduced by the pyrethroid insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin. This compound may cross the intestinal barrier and circulate through the hemolymph, affecting various non-target bee organs.
