Pesticide Residues in Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Pollen collected in Two Ornamental Plant Nurseries in Connecticut: Implications for Bee Health and Risk Assessment

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: June 27, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-03-03
These data were collected as part of RARE project with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. For this work, pollen was collected from honey bee colonies located at two ornamental plant nurseries in Connecticut. The pollen was analyzed for pesticide residues (type and quantity). Aggregate risk quotients for honey bee adults and larvae were calculated using these data. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Hester, K., K. Stoner, B. Eitzer, R. Koethe, and D. Lehmann. Pesticide Residues in Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Pollen collected in Two Ornamental Plant Nurseries in Connecticut: Implications for Bee Health and Risk Assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 333: 122037, (2023).
