Comparison of the toxicological burden on bees in agriculturally exposed areas of Slovakia and Germany

Part of the solution to this expert assistance task also involves the collection of biological material — solitary bee species from trapping devices, pollen stores, and nesting material from the nesting cavities of solitary bee species — based on a uniform methodology, at selected localities in the Low Tatras near conventionally treated stands (agricultural areas) and in a mountain environment, for the purpose of determining the level of toxicological burden from plant protection products, as well as for the purpose of species identification of the solitary bees themselves.
