Cyantraniliprole is an anthranilic diamide insecticide used to control a cross-spectrum of chewing and sucking pests. To determine the effects of the insecticide on the bumble bee <i>Bombus terrestris </i>L., Cyantraniliprole 100 g/L OD was applied as a spray solution under semi-field conditions on <i>Phacelia tanacetifolia </i>in Germany. An analytical method has been developed and validated for the determination of cyantraniliprole and six possible metabolites in nectar and pollen of forager bumble bees and nectar from bumble bee colonies. The target limits of quantitation are 0.00050 – 0.0010 mg/kg for parent and metabolites in nectar and 0.0010 mg/kg in pollen. This presentation describes the challenges and methodology for nectar and pollen analyses by LC/MS/MS.
