“…Sublethal effects of single compound insecticide exposure on foraging activity [ 57 , 68 – 70 ], flight [ 57 , 71 – 74 ], and food consumption by adults [ 75 – 77 ] have received some research attention. Investigations focusing on aspects of nesting activity including the number of nesting bees [ 60 , 78 ], number of brood cells produced [ 51 , 52 , 57 , 60 , 62 , 69 , 74 , 78 – 80 ], number of nests/female [ 45 , 57 , 70 ], and the number of days spent nesting have been published. The effects of exposure to pesticide mixtures on foraging activity [ 55 , 68 – 70 , 81 ], flight [ 71 , 73 , 81 ], food consumption by adults [ 75 , 76 , 82 ] and nesting [ 55 , 68 – 71 , 73 , 81 , 83 , 84 ] have also been investigated.…”

“…Most insecticide classes have only been evaluated in a single investigation. Larvae are the most frequently evaluated developmental stage and include assessments of the number of cocoons [ 53 , 57 , 78 ], time to cocoon completion [ 54 , 61 , 74 , 85 ] and cocoon darkening [ 54 ], and food conversion [ 56 , 85 , 86 ]. Pesticide effects on emergence and eclosion are also commonly studied with an emphasis on emergence success [ 52 , 57 , 61 , 62 , 70 , 74 , 80 , 85 , 86 ] and time to emergence [ 54 , 58 , 87 ].…”

“…Data on the types and quantities of pesticides in and on solitary bee bodies are also highly limited. Only one study investigated the effects of exposure through soil on solitary bee survival and nesting success [ 78 ]. In this study, nesting activity and the number of brood cells produced/day were significantly reduced, and the sex ratio was skewed towards males [ 78 ].…”

Background Pollination services provided by solitary bees, the largest group of bees worldwide, are critical to the vitality of ecosystems and agricultural systems alike. Disconcertingly, bee populations are in decline, and while no single causative factor has been identified, pesticides are believed to play a role in downward population trends. The effects of pesticides on solitary bee species have not been previously systematically cataloged and reviewed. Objectives This systematic scoping review examines available evidence for effects of pesticide exposure on solitary bees to identify data gaps and priority research needs. Methods A systematic literature search strategy was developed to identify and document reports on solitary bee pesticide exposure-effects investigations. Literature was subsequently screened for relevance using a Population, Exposures, Comparators, and Outcomes (PECO) statement and organized into a systematic evidence map. Investigations were organized by effect category (lethal effects on immatures, lethal effects on adults, sublethal effects on immatures, and sublethal effects on adults), species, pesticide class, and publication year. Results A comprehensive literature search of Web of Science and ProQuest Agricultural & Environmental Science supplemented by targeted internet searching and reference mining yielded 176 reports and publications for title and abstract screening and 65 that met PECO criteria (22 included lethal and 43 included sublethal effects endpoints). Relevant design details (pesticide, test compound configuration, study type, species, sex, exposure duration) were extracted into literature inventory tables to reveal the extent endpoints have been investigated and areas in need of additional research. Conclusions Evidence mapping revealed diversity in the pesticides and endpoints studied across the database. However, dilution across bee species, lack of complementary laboratory work and paucity of replicated investigations complicate efforts to interpret and apply available data to support pesticide risk assessment.

Increasing evidence shows that wild bees, including bumble bees, are in decline due to a range of stressors, including pesticides. Our knowledge of pesticide impacts has consequently grown to enable the design of increasingly realistic risk assessment methods. However, one area where knowledge gaps may still hinder our ability to assess the full range of bee‐pesticide interactions is the field of exposure. Exposure has historically been linked to either direct contact with pesticides or the ingestion of contaminated pollen and nectar by bees. However, bumble bees, and other wild bees, may also be exposed to pesticides while using contaminated soil as an overwintering substrate. Yet knowledge of how soil‐mediated exposure affects bumble bee health is lacking. Here we take one of the first steps towards addressing this knowledge gap by designing a method for testing the effects of soil‐mediated pesticide exposure on bumble bee queen hibernation success. We measured hibernation survival, body weight change and abdominal fat content and found that none of these responses were affected by a field realistic soil exposure to the novel insecticide cyantraniliprole. Our study may help in developing a standardised method to test the effects of the soil‐mediated pesticide exposure route in bumble bee queens.
