The effect of plant protection products (PPPs) was tested on honeybee behavior. The mixture of the neonicotinoid actemiprid (Mospilan(R)) and the SBI fungicide difenoconazole (Difcor(R)) and the combination of actemiprid (Mospilan(R)) and the non-SBI fungicides boscalid/dimoxystrobin (Cantus(R) Gold) was investigated. The sugar responsiveness was tested with the help of proboscis extension response experimentes, the learning behavior was investigated using differential conditioning with two odors.
