Toxicity of the Trichoderma harzianum-based fungicide Bioben® was evaluated in three species of bees and Anastrepha ludens, in the Soconusco region, Chiapas, Mexico, under laboratory conditions. Mortality in Scaptotrigona mexicana and Apis mellifera were slightly higher in the exposed groups than in control groups, contrary to Melipona beecheii and A. ludens.
