o:3321 Honeybee pollen as a bioindicator of contamination: an overview en Honeybees and honeybee products (honey, bee wax, bee pollen and bee bread) are potential bioindicators of contaminants (pesticides, mycotoxins, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, toxic elements, radionuclides etc.) in the environment. In this study, recent results on the food safety risks of bee pollen and data about the concentration of toxic substances detected in bee pollen are summarized. Based on different studies, a risk assessment was conducted for the most common pesticide active substances (chlorpyrifos, fluvalinate, carbendazim, thiacloprid), heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead) and common mycotoxins (aflatoxin‑B1, ochratoxin‑A, fumonisins, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, T‑2 toxin).
