TI  - Detection of Pesticide Residues in Selected Bee Products of Honeybees (Apis 
      melllifera L.) Colonies in a Preliminary Study from Seychelles Archipelago.

AB  - Pesticide residues in honey and pollen from Seychelles against a target of 108 
      pesticides using LC-MS/MS were analyzed. Fifteen pesticides were detected, at 
      trace levels (< 15 ppb) and below the acceptable maximum residue limits (MRLs) as 
      per EU regulations. In honey, six insecticide and three fungicide residues were 
      detected. Eight insecticide and four fungicide residues were detected in the 
      pollen matrix. The least contaminated honey and pollen samples had three and nine 
      chemical residues respectively while the most contaminated honey and pollen 
      samples had eight and eleven chemical residues respectively. Contact and oral 
      LD(50) values were used to calculate Pollen Hazard Quotients 
      (PHQ) = concentration in ppb / LD(50) as microg/bee. The pollen hazard quotients 
      (PHQ) obtained are way below those reported in literature. Residues were detected 
      in low quantities, however, their high frequency and diversity and possible 
      synergistic interactions may lead to negative impact on honeybees' health in 
      Seychelles.
