Overall objective of the project
Levels
of effects from a microbial plant protection product application in
semi-field and field will be investigated, as well as differences in the
levels of exposure on honey bees, bumble bees and solitary bees. The studies
were conducted in multiple regions in Germany, including overwintering of
honey bee colonies (2020/2021).
