“…Honey bees can get exposed to these insecticides through their nectar collecting behavior ( 18 , 19 ), increasing the likelihood of colony contamination. One study reported that at least one neonicotinoid was detected in 75% of honey samples worldwide ( 20 , 21 ), neonicotinoid was also detected in bee pollen ( 22 ) and even in fruits and leaves ( 23 ), suggesting that bee colonies may have been contaminated with neonicotinoid pesticides.…”

Understanding the cause of honey bee (Apis mellifera) population decline has attracted immense attention worldwide in recent years. Exposure to neonicotinoid pesticides is considered one of the most probable factors due to the physiological and behavioral damage they cause to honey bees. However, the influence of thiacloprid, a relatively less toxic cyanogen-substituted form of neonicotinoid, on honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) development is not well studied. The toxicity of sublethal thiacloprid to larvae, pupae, and emerging honey bees was assessed under laboratory conditions. We found that thiacloprid reduced the survival rate of larvae and pupae, and delayed the development of bees which led to lower bodyweight and size. Furthermore, we identified differentially expressed genes involved in metabolism and immunity though RNA-sequencing of newly-emerged adult bees. GO enrichment analysis identified genes involved in metabolism, catalytic activity, and transporter activity. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that thiacloprid induced up-regulation of genes related to glutathione metabolism and Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Overall, our results suggest that chronic sublethal thiacloprid can affect honey bee colonies by reducing survival and delaying bee development.

Other authors reported various combinations of sample preparation [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 ]. The authors typically stated the recoveries, linearity, LOD and LOQ values, matrix effects and compared them to the acceptance criteria specified in the major guidance documents [ 62 , 63 , 64 ].…”

Quality Control of Pesticide Residue Measurements and Evaluation of Their Results

et al. 2023

Pesticide residues are monitored in many countries around the world. The main aims of the programs are to provide data for dietary exposure assessment of consumers to pesticide residues and for verifying the compliance of the residue concentrations in food with the national or international maximum residue limits. Accurate residue data are required to reach valid conclusions in both cases. The validity of the analytical results can be achieved by the implementation of suitable quality control protocols during sampling and determination of pesticide residues. To enable the evaluation of the reliability of the results, it is not sufficient to test and report the recovery, linearity of calibration, the limit of detection/quantification, and MS detection conditions. The analysts should also pay attention to and possibly report the selection of the portion of sample material extracted and the residue components according to the purpose of the work, quality of calibration, accuracy of standard solutions, and reproducibility of the entire laboratory phase of the determination of pesticide residues. The sources of errors potentially affecting the measured residue values and the methods for controlling them are considered in this article.
