Acute and chronic toxicity of acetamiprid, carbaryl, cypermethrin and deltamethrin to <i>Apis mellifera</i> larvae reared <i>in vitro</i>

Abstract

According to the risk quotient (RQ) values of acute and chronic toxicity that we obtained, the risk is acceptable at exposure rates that have been identified in the field. Overall, our results are valuable for evaluating the acute and chronic toxicities of these insecticides to developing honey bees. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
