Our Terrestrial Ecotox Field and Lab team will be onsite, actively participating in a number of poster sessions and expert talks!
Two posters on solitary leafcutter bees (semi-field test) will be shared - see details here:

- New experiences and insights of two-year testing with the leafcutter bee (Megachile rotundata) in a semi-field test design
These were presented at the SETAC Europe 2024 meeting so, if you are interested in viewing these posters - please contact us.
Four new posters will be presented:
- Queen Mortality in Honeybee Colonies during Regulatory Field Studies: An Analysis of Six Years of Data

- Larval repeated exposure studies; The use of hatching boxes vs. closing the plates with a lid. Comparison of both methods with regards to hatching success
Furthermore, our experts will deliver two talks entitled:
- Results of a Colony Feeding Test to Evaluate the Efficacy of vadedscana for Control of Varroa Mites in Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.)
- AI-Powered Field Monitoring with Modelling: Uncovering the Hidden Impacts of Sublethal Neonicotinoids on Bees
In addition to these posters and talks, EAS colleagues attending the event are participating in working groups that will discuss among other topics:
- Ringtest group for the development of a guideline for a chronic feeding study with Osmia
- Ringtest group meeting regarding guideline development for a honeybee study with microbial substances
During the ICPPR conference, ringtest results and further actions will be discussed.
