- Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the term pesticide as "chemical compounds used in the fight against insects, rodents, fungi and unwanted weeds". Pesticides are potentially toxic and must be used safely for all other living things including humans due to chemical structures. Neonicotinoid pesticides are mainly imidacloprid (most commonly used), acetamiprid, clotiyanide, nitenpyram, nitazine, thiacapride, and thiamethoxam. Depending on the use of neonicotinoid pesticides; restrictions and prohibitions have been introduced for use in the European Union and other countries due to negative ecological effects such as a decrease in the number of birds, insect populations and bee colonies. In conclusion, it is concluded that neonicotinoid pesticide group can be used to protect agricultural products against harmful insects while agricultural chemicals are not innocent at all. Colony losses in honey bees and toxicological events not necessarily to neonikotinoid pesticide exposure, a thorough investigation should be made of the causal factors such as parasitic, viral and bacterial factors.
