Currently, there is no integrated pest management approach for controlling small hive beetles (Aethina tumida), a widespread honey bee (Apis mellifera) pest. To date, only trapping has shown any effectiveness in the In this study, we tested several possible active ingredients that have been previously to demonstrate low toxicity towards bees. test their toxicities, treated both SHBs and bees topically exposed these compounds orally via pollen. Coumaphos (industry standard), solvent control (acetone), positive (dimethoate) were used comparisons. Thiacloprid (LD50 = 1.3 ng/SHB; LC50 12 µg/g pollen) was most toxic ingredient against through Topically, thiacloprid 340× more than coumaphos 431 ng/SHB). However, acetamiprid (selectivity ratio 152) much compared 3). These findings need find other greatest potential reduce SHB populations safely hive.

The yellow-legged hornet, Vespa velutina subs. nigrithorax Buysson, 1905, originally from Southeast Asia, has become an invasive species in Europe since its introduction France around 2004. Its rapid proliferation and voracious predatory behavior pose a significant threat to native insects, particularly honeybees other pollinators, impacting agricultural production, biodiversity, human safety. Eradication seems now impossible, the control efforts are hindered by lack of standardized application protocols, including for insecticide use, leading potential indiscriminate pesticide and, consequently, environmental damages. Our study evaluated acute contact toxicity on V. v. workers four commercially available formulations containing acetamiprid, cypermethrin, mix natural pyrethrins, Spinosad as active ingredients. These tests were performed laboratory conditions, offering novel data chemical this species. results suggest acetamiprid spinosad promising candidates hornet control. Further research is needed validate their efficacy under field conditions assess ecological impacts these pesticides non-target organisms. Integrated pest management strategies should prioritize insecticides with low minimal persistence mitigate resistance development ensure effective Comprehensive assessments considering multiple factors beyond mortality essential informing sustainable strategies.
