do neonicotinoids kill bees
Research clearly shows that a miniscule dose of a neonicotinoid may kill a bee within 48 hours, yet an even smaller dose may still be lethalâ¦but the bee will survive longer, perhaps for example, for up to 8 days (eg.see Suchail et al 2001) .hey are in a different insect order from bees (they are of the cockroach order Blattodea). However, patents for products containing imidacloprid do claim efficacy for controlling insects from the order Hymenoptera (to which bees belong) â including Vespa (wasps) - read more here.
