Experimental analysis shows thiamethoxam alters behavior and induces oxidative stress in Partamona helleri, suggesting risks for bee health.

Thiamethoxam exposure resulted in significant behavioral changes, including reduced travel distance and increased meandering activity.
Both sublethal concentrations, LC5 and LC50, were linked to oxidative stress, affecting detoxification and antioxidant enzyme levels.
Assessment involved oral exposure of bees to thiamethoxam for 72 hours, revealing harmful midgut alterations and cellular damage.
Findings indicate potential risks to health and survival of Partamona helleri bees, crucial for pollination and agriculture.

Motta et al. (2025) studied this question.
