Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
other: Apis mellifera (honey bee)
Details on test organisms:
Apparently healthy, worker bees were collected from one active hive
located on the Wildlife International Ltd. site. All test bees were less than three weeks of age. Worker bees of the proper age were selected by splitting the hive and moving a portion away from the main colony. Foragingbeeswereallowedtoreturntothemaincolonywhile nurse workers of the desired age remained with the moved portion. The hive was split one day prior to test initiation. All hives are main- tained according to "Bee Keeping in Maryland," Cooperative Extension Services, University of Maryland, Bulletin 223, 1977.

Nominal / measured:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The contact LD50 value of SY-83 in the honey bee was determined to be greater than 100.4 ug/bee, the highest concentration tested.
Executive summary:

Mortality rates in all five treatment groups were similar to those observed in the control and solvent control groups. Mortalities did not appear to be treatment related.

In conclusion, SY-83 was classified as relatively non-toxic to honey bees. The honey bee, 48 hour contact LD50 value for SY-83, was greater than 100.4 yg/bee, the highest dosage tested
