Bumblebees are important pollinators of many crops and wild flowers and there are both conservation and economic reasons for taking action to assess the impact of pesticides on bumblebees. Mechanisms of insecticide resistance found in insects may include three general categories. Modified behavioral mechanisms can let the insects avoid the exposure to toxic compounds. The second category is physiological mechanisms such as altered penetration, rapid excretion, lower rate transportation, or increase storage of insecticides by insects. The third category relies on biochemical mechanisms including the insensivity of target sites to insecticides and enhanced detoxification rate by several detoxifying mechanisms.
