Effects of pesticides on non-Apis bees and development of test methods
Development of test methods for the investigation of acute, lethal, chronic and sublethal effects of plant protection products on wild bees. The general aim of the experiments is to investigate the extent to which test methods and their results,...
Term: 2014-01-01 bis 2030-12-31Comparison of effects of microbial plant protection products on mortality and development of three commercially used pollinating insects (A. mellifera, B. terrestris, O. bicornis)
Term: 2020-03-01 bis 2024-12-31Interaction of abiotic stressors including food limitation on bee health and colony development under field conditions
The project NutriBee aims at studying newly established honey bee colonies during their most sensitive initial growth phase. Colonies will be exposed to various stressors, by which they are usually challenged in agricultural practice. These young...

Term: 2021-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Residue analytical investigations of bees and bee-related materials in the framework of cooperation with research institutions
Within the scope of these cooperations (universities, other research institutes), the focus lies on the determination of individual active ingredients as well as the multi-component screening for the investigation center for bee poisoning (current...
Term: 2012-01-01 bis 2030-05-31Investigations of chronic and sublethal effects of pesticides to honey bee colonies with particular consideration of brood development and bee health
Assessment of the acute and chronic sublethal and lethal effects on honey bees in laboratory, semi-field and field conditions with special attention of the brood development and bee behavior after impact of sprayed plant protection products or...
Term: 2010-01-01 bis 2030-05-31Investigations of chronic and sublethal effects of pesticides to honey bee colonies with particular consideration of brood development and bee health
Further development of test and evaluation methods for studies on the effects of guttation drops and water / bee colonies with special consideration of the water collectors and special consideration of the breeding development and the health of bee...
Term: 2009-01-01 bis 2024-12-31Development of method for assessment of dust drift and risk assessment of dust drift for honeybees
Improvement of estimation of dust drift on neighbouring crops under consideration of drift of insecticidal dusts and sublethal or lethal effects on honeybee colonies; clarification if damage is caused by drift or exclusively by uptake of...
Term: 2009-01-01 bis 2030-05-31Chemical analytical assessment of lethal damages of honey bees possibly caused by plant protection products or other xenobiotica
In the "organic-chemical residue analysis" working group at the Institute of Bee Protection, bee samples are analysed for poisoning by plant protection products using a mass spectrometric multicomponent method. The screening method includes...
Term: 2008-01-01 bis 2030-05-31Development and improvment of test methods for the risk assessment of honey bees
The Institute for Bee Protection is substantially involved in the development of testing methods for honey bees and other commercially used pollinators. This includes the revision of the OECD Guidance Document No. 75 to assess effects of plant...
