Abstract: Thiamethoxan directly or indirectly as residues in nectar and pollen from crop plants have been considered as one of the potential factors causing the declines of honey bee populations. It is widely used against sucking pests such as aphid in crop like Brassica which in highly attractive to honey bees which results in reduction in yield both interms of quality and quantity. The present investigation was aimed to find out the interaction between three parameters that is honey bee thiamethoxam and yield. Various yield parameters are compared in between thiamethoxam treated semi-field, thiamethoxam treated open field and water sprayed open field condition. It was found that thiamethoxam treated open field condition provide better yield as compared to other conditions.
