Scientists develop new method for easily measuring pesticides in honey
Common insecticides believed to threaten the health and survival of honeybees can be easily detected in honey, thanks to a novel technique developed by scientists from the University of Waterloo in Canada. The fully automated technique, called the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method, helps scientists extract pyrethroids from honey, which has been previously difficult to do. Pyrethroid insecticides are believed to cause the […]
