Original title: Rückstandsgefahren für Bienenprodukte. Teil 1: Belastung aus der Imkerei. It is concluded that beekeepers themselves are responsible for many of the residues found in bee products. In Switzerland, residues in honey are most likely to be due to the use of antibiotics against foulbrood. Wax and propolis are most likely to be contaminated with synthetic acaricides. Residues can be minimized by careful application, and especially by the use of biological control methods. Accession date: 29 January 2003. Call number: 638.163/166. Library code: Bj. Language: De.
