Why is it important?
As long as the beehive has a healthy and productive queen a bee colony may cope with insecticide toxicity unless immune suppression occurs, which may render the bee colony susceptible to pathogens
Perspectives
Field studies with honey bees can not be used to demonstrate absence of insecticide toxicity
