Honey Bees (Apis mellifera) Acute Contact Test

Honeybees are critical invertebrates that support the biodiversity of ecosystems and agricultural productivity, especially during the pollination period. The “Honeybee Acute Contact Test (OECD 214)” is used to evaluate acute toxic reactions of honeybees when in direct contact with chemicals.

This test determines the toxic effects of chemicals on honeybees when they come into direct contact with them. During the test, the survival rates and behavioral changes of honeybees are monitored to assess the acute contact toxicity of chemicals. This process reveals the potential risks of pesticides and other chemicals to honeybees.

As Sia Analysis Laboratories, we offer the Honey Bee Acute Contact Test with GLP accreditation. These tests provide reliable scientific data to protect the health of honey bees and determine the environmental impacts of chemicals.
