Austria
Another monitoring project with focus on neonicotinoid seed treatment products is the MELISSA Project
in Austria. In this project, particular attention is directed to the investigation of any damage to bees that is
reported in association of growing maize. (Latest report: Girsch and Moosbeckhofer, 2011). According to
preliminary results, the safety of neonicotinoid seed treatment products to honey bees can be sufficiently
ensured when the prescribed security measures for the use of these products are complied with.
