Honey bee adult acute dermal toxicity values

Honey bee adult acute dermal toxicity values (LD₅₀) for pesticides applied in United States maize (corn) and soybean production. Most values come directly from the US EPA's ECOTOX database.

Columns:

• ai = active ingredient name
• ineq = inequality value associated with the LD₅₀ estimate; either '>' or 'NA'
• AAC.LD50 = LD50 value in micrograms per be (ug/bee)
