A preliminary data evaluation was conducted by ECPA companies to compare the sensitivity of bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) with the sensitivity of honeybees (Apis mellifera). For the evaluation about 70 data sets were available for contact exposure and about 50 data sets for oral exposure. The data sets comprised insecticides, fungicides, herbicides in about equal numbers plus a few other substances. The preliminary ECPA company data evaluation of LD 50 values indicates lower or similar contact sensitivity of bumblebees vs. honeybees. Similarly, lower or similar oral sensitivity of bumblebees vs. honeybees was determined with one exception for an insecticide that indicated higher acute oral bumblebee sensitivity compared to honeybees. For this insecticide, higher tier data indicates no negative impact on bumblebees at the maximum intended use rate. Overall, the ECPA company data evaluation indicates that bumblebees are not more sensitive than honeybees based on acute toxicity assessment.
