New Frequently Asked Questions on Honeybee Toxicity Testing for Registrants and Contract Laboratories
For Release: August 20, 2018
The Environmental Protection Agency has posted new frequently asked questions for registrants and contract laboratories conducting honeybee toxicity testing. These FAQs are made up of responses to inquiries EPA commonly receives about protocols used to generate honeybee toxicity data for submission in support of pesticide registration. Additionally, these FAQs are meant to complement the Agency’s existing Pollinator Risk Assessment Guidance and increase the transparency and clarity of the risk assessment process.
EPA encourages the regulated community to submit questions not found in the FAQs or risk assessment guidance to [email protected].
