Comparative lipidomic and proteomic analysis reveals species‐specific differences in midgut composition and insecticide absorption between <scp> <i>Apis mellifera</i> </scp> and <scp> <i>Bombus terrestris</i> </scp>

The finding that A. mellifera midguts display a higher rate of insecticidal absorption provides a novel insight into the role of absorption in bee toxicology. This also has implications for the development of more selective insecticides and improved risk assessment strategies for non-target organisms. © 2025 The Author(s).
