A pragmatic approach to assess the exposure of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) when subjected to pesticide spray.
Plant protection spray treatments may expose non-target organisms to pesticides. In the pesticide registration procedure, the honey bee represents one of the non-target model species for which the risk posed by pesticides must be assessed on the basis of the hazard quotient (HQ). The HQ is defined a...
