With the increasing demand for pollinating services, the wellness of honeybees has received widespread attention. Recent evidence indicated honeybee health might be posed a potential threat by widely used neonicotinoids worldwide. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of these insecticides in honeybees especially at an enantiomeric level. In this study, we selected two species of bees,Apis mellifera(A. mellifera) andApis cerana(A. cerana), to assess the toxicity and molecular mechanism of neonicotinoid dinotefuran and its enantiomers. The results showed thatS-dinotefuran was more toxic thanrac-dinotefuran andR-dinotefuran to honeybees by oral and contact exposures as much as 114 times.A. ceranawas more susceptible to highly toxic enantiomerS-dinotefuran.S-dinotefuran induced the immune system response inA. ceranaafter 48 h exposure and significant changes were observed in the neuronal signaling ofA. melliferaunder three forms of dinotefuran exposure. Moreover, molecular docking also revealed thatS-dinotefuran formed more hydrogen bonds thanR-dinotefuran with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, indicating the higher toxicity ofS-dinotefuran. Data provided here show thatR-dinotefuran may be a safer alternative to control pests and protect pollinators thanrac-dinotefuran.
