From: Pesticide risk to managed bees during blueberry pollination is primarily driven by off-farm exposures

Figure 3

Contribution of pesticide active ingredients to pollen risk quotient values based on whether they are registered for use on blueberries, or not. A product was considered registered for use on blueberries if the label indicated it is permitted to be applied to blueberry bushes at any time of the year. RQs were calculated with contact LD50 values and oral LD50 values. Toxicity data for Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris were used depending on which species collected the pollen (HB-honey bees, Apis mellifera, BB-bumble bees, Bombus impatiens). Graph created in GraphPad Prism 948.
