Global Pesticide Residues in Honey and Bee Pollen, 2010-2025

A systematic review by Wenting Li synthesizes evidence from 39 studies published between 2010 and 2025 on pesticide residues in honey and bee pollen. The review analyzes residue levels, profiles, analytical methods, and human health and ecological risk assessments. The dataset is a 335.2 KB document last updated on 2026-05-06.

Use Cases

• Assessing temporal trends in pesticide contamination based on the reported shift from organochlorines to neonicotinoids and pyrethroids.
• Evaluating human dietary risk based on reported Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Incremental Lifetime Cancer Risk (ILCR) values.
• Monitoring ecological risk to bees based on reported bee Hazard Quotient (bee HQ) and Pollen Hazard Quotient (PHQ) indicators.
• Comparing analytical methodologies based on the described improvements in QuEChERS extraction and LC–MS/MS techniques.

Strengths

• Synthesizes findings from 39 distinct studies, providing a broad evidence base.
• Covers a 15-year time range (2010-2025), allowing for analysis of temporal trends.
• Reports specific quantitative metrics, including residue levels typically below 10 μg kg−1 and risk values like HQ and ILCR.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is a 335.2 KB document, indicating a limited scope focused on review synthesis rather than primary data.
