The effect of the neonicotinoid, which is the most toxic for bees, on the components of the individual immunity of Apis mellifera L. workers, was studied. It was shown that a non-lethal dose of imidacloprid caused pathological changes in the intestine and fat body cells, the insect's reaction to its own decaying cells and tissues, aggregation, adhesion and lysis of granulocytes that removes a significant proportion of protective cells from the bloodstream, the generation of reactive oxygen species under the inhibition of phenol oxidase activity in hemocytes.
