"According to an analysis by Beyond Pesticides,
the study found 121 different types of pesticides within 887 wax, pollen, bee
and hive sampled from 23 states. The top 10 most frequently detected pesticides
are fluvalinate and coumaphos, chlorpyrifos, chlorothalonil, amitraz,
pendamethalin, endosulfan, fenpropathrin, esfenvalerate and atrazine. Miticides
are the most common contaminant in the wax and bees, and fungicides are the
most common contaminant of pollen."
