Featured Article Studying Honey Bee Decline with Chromatography LCGC spoke to Professor Andrea Tapparo, of the University of Padova (Italy) about studying honey bee decline with chromatography. He explains how he became interested in declining honey bee populations, the type of research he’s been doing, and the analytical method he used in his work.

The quality and safety of drinking water is a global issue with many stringent regulatory requirements. Learn how innovations in high-pressure ion chromatography are advancing the analytical process to enhance signal response and improve overall limits of detection while simplifying the workflow for all users. View this on-demand webcast to learn how advances in ion analysis can simplify your water monitoring process.   Chromatography News Compounds in Honey Are Key to Activation of Detoxification Genes in Honey Bees Three scientists from the University of Illinois (Urbana, Illinois) have detected key compounds in honey using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) that can up-regulate detoxification genes. HPLC was performed on ethyl acetate honey samples identifying four compounds that induce detoxification genes, potentially required for the detoxification of pesticides.

Read more   European Commission Bans Use of Three Neonicortinoid Pesticides Implicated in Honey Bee Population Decline The European Commission has imposed a ban on three neonicortinoid pesticides within the European Union – clothianidin, imidacloprid, and thiametoxam. This follows the publication of a series of reviews into the risks posed by the insecticides by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in Parma, Italy, in January 2013. These reviews stem from the publication of numerous chromatographic studies, which suggest a link between pesticide exposure and “colony collapse disorder”– the mysterious decline of honey bee populations.
