Although neonicotinoids have been implicated in honey bee pesticide incidents, there has been little examination of incident report data. Here we summarize honey bee incident report data obtained from the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">PMRA<\/jats:styled-content>)<\/jats:bold>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:bold>In Canada, there were very few honey bee incidents reported in 2007\u20132011 and data were not collected prior to 2007. In 2012, a significant number of incidents were reported in the province of Ontario, where exposure to neonicotinoid dust during planting of corn was suspected to have caused the incident in up to 70% of cases. Most of these incidents were classified as \u2018minor\u2019 by the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">PMRA<\/jats:styled-content>, and only six cases were considered \u2018moderate\u2019 or \u2018major\u2019. In that same year, there were over three times as many moderate or major incidents due to older non\u2010neonicotinoid pesticides, involving numbers of hives or bees far greater than the number of moderate or major incidents suspected to be due to neonicotinoid poisoning<\/jats:bold>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:bold>These data emphasize that, while exposure of honey bees to neonicotinoid\u2010contaminated dust during corn planting needs to be mitigated, other pesticides also pose a risk. \u00a9 2013 Society of Chemical Industry<\/jats:bold><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ps.3613","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,19]],"date-time":"2013-07-19T09:48:38Z","timestamp":1374227318000},"page":"779-783","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Honey bees, neonicotinoids and bee incident reports: the Canadian situation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"G.
