ABSTRACT
Field tests verified and evaluated a pesticide’s active ingredient transfer to honeybee hives from
rapeseed crops protected according to current programs. Samples of rapeseed flowers, leaves, and soil
were collected, as well as of worker honeybees, the brood, and honey from hives located in the crops. They
were evaluated for the presence of four insecticides and five fungicides. In flower samples and leaf samples
flutriafol at plantation 1 and azoxystrobin at plantation 2 were found at the highest levels. In honeybees
and in the brood, five AIs were detected at plantation 1, of which the highest levels were observed for
flutriafol (25.5 μg/kg of honeybee) and picoxystrobin (7.3 μg/kg of brood). At plantation 2, residues of
three and two AIs were detected in honeybees and in the brood, respectively, of which chlorpyrifos was at
the highest level (19.5 μg/kg of honeybee, and 2.8 μg/kg of brood). For both plantations, residues of three
AIs were found in honey. The AI levels in honey did not exceed 3.8% of acceptable maximum residue level
at plantation 1, and 2.8% at plantation 2. The percentage of acceptable daily intake did not exceed 0.01%.
