Abstract
The determination of sub-lethal effects of pesticides on beneficial insects is challenging topic because the vast number of different possible endpoints. Traditionally measured endpoints reflect the basic outcome but do not give any information about the mode of actions or the real non-harming dosages of the studied toxicants. Physiological changes, however, reflect even small deviations from normal state. The gas exchange patterns are sensitive cues to determine the sub-lethal toxicosis in insects. Methods of respiratory physiology have been used to detect sub-lethal toxic effects of many chemicals, but information for biological preparations is also needed, especially when bees are used in entomovectoring task. The aims of this study were i) to clarify which are the effects of three microbiological preparations on two bee species, honey bees Apis mellifera L. and bumble bees Bombus terrestris L. and ii) could we compare the effects of the same preparations on different bee species. We saw that honey bees and bumble bees react similarly on microbiological preparations, however the reaction strength differed. We found that kaolin affects the survival of bumble bees and honey bees as much as did entomopathogenic preparations, whereas pure spores of a non-hazardous fungus and wheat flour did not. Bumble bees seem to be more tolerant to microbiological preparations than honey bees.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
