In a comparative approach, we evaluated the effects of Cry1Ab protoxin, deltamethrin and imidacloprid insecticides on mortality, syrup consumption, foraging activity and olfactory learning capacities of free-flying honeybees. In an indoor flight cage we exposed bee colonies to different syrups containing Cry1Ab protoxin, deltamethrin or imidacloprid at 1000 mu g/kg, 500 mu g/kg and 48 mu g/kg, respectively. Cry1Ab did not affect mortality, syrup consumption or learning capacities. However, foraging activity was reduced during and after the treatment. Deltamethrin and imidacloprid both affected syrup consumption and foraging activity. Deltamethrin also induced a reduction in learning capacities. With the tested concentrations, our study suggests that for honeybees, synthetic insecticides such as deltamethrin may induce a greater hazard than Cry1Ab protein, potentially expressed in Bt corn pollen at concentrations lower than 1000 mu g/kg.
