Laboratory determination of the residual fumigant toxicity to honey bees of insecticide sprays on white clover ( Trifolium repens L.)
Year: 1969
Type: article
Abstract: Insecticide sprays were applied to the flowers of white clover ( Trifolium repens L.) held in jars of water. To detennine the residual fumigant toxicities of the sprays. honey bees were enclosed above the flowers for an hour, either 3 or 18 hours after application. Of the 18 compounds tested, only three (Cyanox. diazinon, and lindane) showed residual toxicity. Initial fumigant toxicity tests were shown to be unreliable guides to residual toxicity.
