Influence of the agricultural landscape surrounding Apis mellifera colonies on the presence of pesticides in honey

Honeybees settled in agricultural ecosystems may encounter glyphosate residues on flowers of cultivated and native plants growing semi-natural habitats. This work analyzes the relationship between presence pesticides honey some features landscape that surrounds apiaries. A total 30 samples were analyzed, its metabolite Aminophosphoric Acid (AMPA) was registered with a positivity 50% 30%, respectively. The both AMPA honey, even at very low levels, identifies an important pathway whereby migrate from site application to hive into honey. Our results suggest increasing amount croplands along intensification industrial agriculture is not sufficient explain These trends more detailed studies within particular regions could be useful better understand practices
