This study shows the results of a local biomonitoring plan developed by a regional beekeeping association, Aspromiele, in several areas of Piedmont (Italy), in order to understand the status of contamination from pesticides present in the environment and eventually to evaluate their impact on apiculture. Glyphosate was the most abundant chemical found in the bee bread and honey samples. The other pesticides detected at lower concentrations and minor frequency were mandipropamid, tau-fluvalinate, metalaxil and spiroxamine. Even if in the present study the pesticides found in the bee bread and honey were limited to a few molecules, it is important to highlight that the presence of glyphosate could represent a hazard to bees. Honeybees are the main pollinators in agricultural ecosystems, and thus appropriate environmental management could lead to a reduction in the impact of these chemicals on bees and other beneficial insects.

意大利皮埃蒙特地区收集的蜂蜜和蜜蜂面包的农化污染

本研究展示了区域养蜂协会 Aspromiele 在皮埃蒙特（意大利）的几个地区制定的当地生物监测计划的结果，目的是了解环境中农药的污染状况，并最终评估它们对养蜂业的影响. 草甘膦是蜜蜂面包和蜂蜜样品中含量最丰富的化学物质。在较低浓度和较小频率下检测到的其他农药是 mandipropamid、tau-氟丙氨酯、甲霜灵和螺胺。即使在本研究中，在蜜蜂面包和蜂蜜中发现的杀虫剂仅限于几个分子，但重要的是要强调草甘膦的存在可能对蜜蜂构成危害。蜜蜂是农业生态系统中的主要传粉者，因此适当的环境管理可以减少这些化学物质对蜜蜂和其他有益昆虫的影响。
