"A previous field study (MRID 46907801/43907802) investigated the effects
of clothianidin on whole hives parameters and was classified as acceptable.
However, after another review of this field study in light of additional
information, deficiencies were identified  that render the study
supplemental. It does not satisfy  the guideline  850.3040 , and another
field study  is needed to evaluate the effects of clothianidin on bees
through contaminated pollen and nectar. Exposure through contaminated
pollen and nectar and potential toxic effects therefore remain  and
uncertainty to pollinators."
