o:9159 Pesticide contamination in apicultural products: An updated and comprehensive review of analytical methods, occurrence, and safety concerns en Honeybees and their products integrate landscape-level chemical exposure, making apicultural matrices valuable bioindicators for both food safety and environmental monitoring. This review summarizes current knowledge on pesticide residues in honey, pollen, beebread, beeswax, royal jelly, and propolis from 2019 to 2024, with an overview of analytical methodologies used in their determination. Multi-residue methods remain dominated by Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) extraction combined with liquid and gas chro- matography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, while high-resolution MS enables broader screening. Highly polar pesticides, particularly glyphosate and its metabolites, require specialised single-residue approaches, such as the Quick Polar Pesticides (QuPPe) method and ion chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (IC- HRMS). Co-occurrence patterns frequently involve mixtures of neonicotinoids, acaricides, and fungicides, reflecting combined agricultural and in-hive treatments. Regarding matrices, honey typically shows insecticide and acaricide residues, pollen concentrates fungicides and insecticides as the main exposure route, and beeswax Apicultural products, Honey, Pesticide residues, Analytical methods, Mass spectrometry, Food safety, Environmental monitoring, Plant, Protection, Products 1552099 10.1016/j.teac.2026.e00300 2026-02-26T12:04:47.584Z 44 yes 46 Adrian Fuente-Ballesteros Analytical Chemistry Group (TESEA), I.
