目前环境风险评估程序中使用的测试物种蜜蜂蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）与其他蜂种相比，通常被认为对农药极其敏感，尽管尚未报道比较蜜蜂敏感性差异的定量方法。对有关该主题的相关文献进行了系统回顾，然后进行了荟萃分析。实验室研究中报告的尽可能多的物质的接触和口服急性 LD50 和慢性 LC50 均已从论文中提取，以便比较蜜蜂和其他蜂种（蜜蜂目）对农药的敏感性。针对包括 19 种蜜蜂在内的总共 150 个案例研究，计算了物种 a（意大利蜜蜂）和物种 s（蜜蜂以外的蜜蜂）终点之间的灵敏度比 R。比率高于 1 表明该物种比蜜蜂对农药更敏感。荟萃分析显示，蜂种之间的敏感性存在很大差异（R 从 0.001 到 2085.7），然而，在大约 95% 的情况下，敏感性比率低于 10。农药对家养和野生蜜蜂的影响取决于单一蜂种的固有敏感性及其特定的生命周期、筑巢活动和觅食行为。目前的数据表明，需要更多蜜蜂和非蜜蜂之间的比较信息，以及针对非蜜蜂的单独农药风险评估程序。
The honey bee Apis mellifera, the test species used in the current environmental risk assessment procedure, is generally considered as extremely sensitive to pesticides when compared to other bee species, although a quantitative approach for comparing the difference in sensitivity among bees has not yet been reported. A systematic review of the relevant literature on the topic followed by a meta-analysis has been performed. Both the contact and oral acute LD50 and the chronic LC50 reported in laboratory studies for as many substances as possible have been extracted from the papers in order to compare the sensitivity to pesticides of honey bees and other bee species (Apiformes). The sensitivity ratio R between the endpoint for the species a (A. mellifera) and the species s (bees other than A. mellifera) was calculated for a total of 150 case studies including 19 bee species. A ratio higher than 1 indicated that the species s was more sensitive to pesticides than honey bees. The meta-analysis showed a high variability of sensitivity among bee species (R from 0.001 to 2085.7), however, in approximately 95 % of the cases the sensitivity ratio was below 10. The effect of pesticides in domestic and wild bees is dependent on the intrinsic sensitivity of single bee species as well as their specific life cycle, nesting activity and foraging behaviour. Current data indicates a need for more comparative information between honey bees and non-Apis bees as well as separate pesticide risk assessment procedures for non-Apis bees.
