Due to recent changes in regulation, acetamiprid has become the only neonicotinoid that can be applied without restrictions and in open field cultivations in the EU from 2021. We provide an overview of the current knowledge on the effects of this insecticide on bumblebees and assessed whether available empirical evidence supports the claim that acetamiprid poses negligible risk to these pollinators. We found that there is limited data on the lethal and sublethal effects of this pesticide on bumblebees. While risk assessment results suggest that field-realistic concentrations of acetamiprid have minor acute and chronic toxicity, detrimental sublethal effects, including reduced reproductive output, have been observed when bumblebees were exposed to high doses of this insecticide. We propose that further research on the topic is warranted as the more extensive application of acetamiprid may lead to such high concentrations in the field.

Is acetamiprid really not that harmful to bumblebees (Apidae: Bombus spp.)?
