What is an indication that a pesticide might be toxic to bees?

  1. High volatility

  2. Label warnings

  3. Extreme potency

  4. Non-selective nature

The correct answer is: High volatility

An indication that a pesticide might be toxic to bees is its high volatility. High volatility means that the pesticide can easily evaporate into the air, increasing the chances of it being inhaled by bees or other pollinators. Label warnings and extreme potency may also suggest toxicity, but these factors alone cannot determine if a pesticide is toxic to bees. Non-selective nature may also indicate toxicity, as it means the pesticide can harm a wide range of organisms including bees. However, it is not a specific indication of toxicity to bees. Therefore, the most accurate answer is high volatility as it directly relates to the potential harm to bees.
