Sustainable use of Apis mellifera in melon production requires knowledge of the toxicity of insecticides applied for pest control. This study evaluated the residual effect of thiacloprid in melon leaves on A. mellifera at different intervals after spraying. The bioassay was conducted under laboratory conditions in a completely randomized design with a 4 × 3 factorial scheme, consisting of two commercial doses of thiacloprid (0.144 g a.i. L-1 and 0.192 g a.i. L-1), an absolute control (distilled water), and a positive control (thiamethoxam, 0.3 g a.i. L-1). Exposure times were 1h, 2h, and 3h after spraying. At 0.144 g a.i. L-1, mortality rates of 54%, 57%, and 44% were observed at 1h, 2h, and 3h, respectively. At 0.192 g a.i. L-1, mortality was 45%, 42%, and 27% at the same intervals. For the 0.144 g a.i. L-1 dose, the median lethal time (TL50) was 38.36h, similar to the 0.192 g a.i. L-1 dose after 1h and 2h of spraying. At 0.192 g a.i. L-1 and 3h after spraying, the TL50 was 63.69h. Thiacloprid, at the evaluated doses, was moderately toxic to A. mellifera regardless of post-spray interval and interfered with bee flight capacity.
