Pesticide products containing imidacloprid meet the current standards set by the regulatory system and legal restrictions are in place to limit the exposure of bees to these products. The conditions of authorisation of imidacloprid products in the UK, as for all pesticide products, include limitations on the use to a specific situation(s)/crop(s) along with application rates and timings. These conditions, and advice on meeting them, are always on the product label. The authorisations for imidacloprid products also recognise the potential risk to bees by requiring product labels to include specific risk mitigation measures needed to protect bees according to the product use.
By law, professional pesticide users must be certificated and take all reasonable precautions when using pesticides to protect people and the environment. Pesticides must only be applied to the “land, crop, structure, material or other area being treated”. A code of practice for all professional pesticide users also provides guidance on minimising the exposure of bees.
