For acute contact:  In a ---- hr-acute contact toxicity study, honey bees {species} were exposed to {test material} administered {topically to – region} at an application rate of {0 (negative control, solvent control), x1, x2, --- xn µg a.i./bee} in accordance with the {…… specifiy the guideline followed}.  The NOEL and LD50 values were X and X µg a.i./bee, respectively.  The test material is classified as [indicate the relative toxicity] to honey bees in accordance with the classification of Atkins (1981).

 

[Briefly describe mortality and sublethal effects.  If there is no toxicity, state that there were no compound related effects.  Compare with reference chemical toxicity, if used.]

 

This study is classified as [enter acceptability classification e.g. acceptable/unacceptable/ supplementary) and {satisfies/does not satisfy} the guideline requirement for acute contact toxicity study for honey bees.

 

For acute oral:  In a --- hr-acute oral toxicity study, honey bees {species} were exposed to {test material} administered in the feed solution at an application rate of {0 (negative control, solvent control), x1, x2, --- xn µg a.i./bee) in accordance with the --- {specify the guideline followed}.  The NOEC and LC50 values were X and X µg a.i./bee, respectively.  The test material is classified as [indicate the relative toxicity] to honey bees in accordance with the classification of Atkins (1981).
