Animals employ various survival tactics, such as selective foraging, to avoid consuming toxic foods that may cause physiological harm (Berenbaum and Johnson, 2015). Bees lack the ability to taste and reject toxins, but they can learn to avoid ingesting toxic foods through postingestive malaise (Hurst et al., 2014). In this study, we hypothesized that bee larvae would reduce their consumption of food containing toxic imidacloprid, which could impede their development due to inadequate nutrition and energy. However, monitoring the larvae's daily food intake did not reveal a significant difference between the imidacloprid-exposed group and the control group (Figures 1F and 1G), indicating that the larvae did not exhibit avoidance behavior towards toxic food. Therefore, there was no direct correlation between feeding and imidacloprid-induced developmental delay in the larvae
