Abstract

Fifty honey samples from Virginia USA were analyzed for the presence of fluvalinate and coumaphos residues. Samples were collected from hives and from bottled honey provided by beekeepers. No coumaphos or fluvalinate residues above the limit of quantification (0.05 mg/kg) were detected in any of the samples, although trace levels (<0.05 mg/kg) of coumaphos were detected in three samples from hives and trace levels of fluvalinate were found in one hive sample. No residues were detected in any of the bottled honey samples and none of the samples exceeded the US EPA tolerance levels for either miticide.
