TLDR
Results showed azadirachtin posed a toxicological hazard to P. helleri queens, similar to imidacloprid, and altered development time, caused deformations, and reduced the size of the queens' reproductive organs.About:

Frequently encountered pesticides can cause multiple disorders in developing worker honey bees.
Hudson V. V. Tomé,Hudson V. V. Tomé,Daniel R. Schmehl,Ashlyn E. Wedde,Raquel S.M. Godoy,Samira Veiga Ravaiano,Raul Narciso C. Guedes,Gustavo Ferreira Martins,James D. Ellis +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that pesticide exposure during larvae development may affect the survival and health of immature honey bees, thus contributing to overall colony stress or loss, and altered gene expression of detoxification enzymes.

Glyphosate is lethal and Cry toxins alter the development of the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata.
Vanessa Eler Seide,Rodrigo Cupertino Bernardes,Eliseu José G. Pereira,Maria Augusta Pereira Lima +3 more
TL;DR: The proteins Cry1F, Cry2Aa, and the herbicide glyphosate were highly toxic to the stingless bee M. quadrifasciata, causing lethal or sublethal effects which can severely impair colony growth and viability, and reduce pollination ability.

TL;DR: The toxicity and degradation mechanisms of imidacloprid are summarized in order to provide a theoretical and practical basis for the remediation ofImidacliprid-contaminated environments.

Botanical and synthetic pesticides alter the flower visitation rates of pollinator bees in Neotropical melon fields.
Paulo Henrique Tschoeke,Eugênio E. Oliveira,Mateus Sunti Dalcin,Marcela Cristina A.C. Silveira-Tschoeke,Renato de Almeida Sarmento,Gil Rodrigues dos Santos +5 more
TL;DR: The findings with naturally occurring pollinator bees reinforce the idea that field applications of botanical pesticides may represent as risky as the applications of synthetic compounds, indicating that these alternative products should be submitted to risk assessments comparable to those required for synthetic products.

Botanical insecticides, deterrents, and repellents in modern agriculture and an increasingly regulated world
TL;DR: In the context of agricultural pest management, botanical insecticides are best suited for use in organic food production in industrialized countries but can play a much greater role in the production and postharvest protection of food in developing countries.
