The field trial on response of different species of honeybees to the insecticides in safflower was conducted at research farm of Department of Agricultural Entomology, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani during 2020-21 and 2021-22.The studies revealed that the maximum number of honeybees population of Melipona irridipenis (7.28 bees /m2 /min.), Apis dorsata (5.70 bees /m2 /min.), Apis cerana indica (4.95 bees /m2 /min.), Apis florea (4.26 bees /m2 /min.) and Apis mellifera (3.52 bees /m2 /min.) was recorded in an untreated control plot followed by the treatment seed treatment with thiamethoxam 30 FS @ 10 ml/kg seed and seed treatment with imidacloprid 48 FS @ 9 ml/kg seed in which 5.63, 5.48, 4.78, 4.08, 3.34 and 5.67, 4.98, 4.29, 3.57, 3.16 M. irridipenis, A. dorsata, A. cerana indica, A. florea and A. mellifera bees /m2/min. were recorded, respectively. The next better treatments were soil drenching with clothianidin 50 WDG, seed treatment with thiamethoxam 30 FS and one foliar spray of cyantraniliprole 10.26 OD, seed treatment with thiamethoxam 30 FS and one foliar spray of spinetoram11.70 SC, seed treatment with imidacloprid 48 FS and one foliar spray of cyantraniliprole 10.26 OD, seed treatment with imidacloprid 48 FS and one foliar spray of spinetoram 11.70 SC, soil drenching with clothianidin 50 WDG and one foliar spray of cyantraniliprole 10.26 OD, soil drenching with clothianidin 50 WDG and one foliar spray of spinetoram11.70 SC, two foliar sprays of cyantraniliprole 10.26 OD and two foliar sprays of spinetoram11.70 SC in which honey bees population of M. irridipenis, A. dorsata, A. cerana indica, A. florea and A. mellifera bees /m2/min. were recorded in the range of 3.63 to 5.30, 2.94 to 4.51, 2.24 to 3.87, 1.58 to 3.08 and 1.00 to 2.74 bees /m2/min., respectively.
