- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the Acephate Residues in honey bees after pre-blossom treatments. Study amalyzed the nectar of apple and cherry plants using gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) to determine acephate residues and acephate's major toxic metabolite called methamidophos. Twenty honey bee colonies are being established to analyze acephate's effects. Results reveal that 0.2 parts per million (ppm) acephate concentration in nectar causes damages in honey bee colonies.
