In accordance with the Incident Reporting provisions of PCPA 2002 reporting requirements, Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. is informing the PMRA of preliminary results from the second year of two three-year field studies in progress in FRANCE. The studies are being conducted to investigate potential effects on honey bees from maize and oilseed rape seed treated with a thiamethoxam formulation. Syngenta AG, Basel, Switzerland is conducting a suite of five honey bee field trials (2 in oilseed rape, 3 in maize) over three years in FRANCE. Each year the test organisms (6 colonies per site) are exposed to crops grown from seed treated with a thiamethoxam formulation. These trails are being conducted with a thiamethoxam formulation that is not registered in CANADA. No differences in the parameters studies on the bees were observed during the first year at any of the five trial sites. In the second year, three out of six colonies in one of the two treated oilseed rape trial sites had only done (male) brood present after over-wintering. No differences in the parameters studies were seen at the other oilseed rape trial site or in the control colonies of either oilseed rape trial. In one of the three maize trial sites, four out of six colonies in the treated maize plot failed to successfully raise a new queen following colony splitting. No differences in the parameters studied were seed in the other two maize trials or in the control colonies of all three maize trials. The results seen in these trials are equivocal and the available data do not necessarily indicate a treatment effect. In both no differences in the parameters studies were observed in first year of study, and only one trial site in each study showed differences in the second year. Further, previously submitted data do not indicate the potential for a treatment related effect. The suite of trials is continuing into a third year as planned and the results of this study will be submitted when available.

Thiamethoxam is registered in Canada for seed treatment uses although this specific seed treatment formulation is neither registered nor is it planned to be registered in Canada in the future. [The study 'Two field trials to determine the effects of HELIX seed treatement on honeybees foraging on canola flowers' is attached to this IR as support/rationale. This study was done in Alberta, Canada to determine the effects of HELIX seed treatment on honeybees foraging on canola flowers. The study was done following typical bee management practices in Canada. The bees were not affected by foraging on canola flowers grown from seed treated with HELIX liquid seed treatment. All exposed hives thrived and grew during this study. There were no observable on bee foraging activity, no evidence of repellency, loss of co-ordination or disorientation. There was no apparent effect on brood pattern or egg laying. The bees from all hives in the exposed groups were observed actively foraging in the HELIX-treated canola. Bee mortality was low and not related to the treatment. ]
