Abstract：Objective To analyze the association between poisonings due to bee pupa consumption and poisonings owing to honey consumption in Yunnan Province, and to provide a reference basis for further identifying the causes of poisonings due to bee pupa consumption. Methods Based on the data about bee pupa poisonings and honey poisonings reported in Yunnan Province from 2004 to 2020, we conducted the association analysis by descriptive statistical methods. Results The epidemiological characteristics of poisonings due to bee pupa consumption in Yunnan were different from those of poisonings owing to honey consumption. Bee pupa poisonings mainly happened in the northwest of Yunnan like Nujiang and Diqing from September to October, while honey poisonings happened in the southwest of Yunnan like Lincang from June to July. The median latency period of bee pupa poisonings was much shorter than that of honey poisonings (9.5 h vs. 24 h). Bee pupae poisonings were mainly characterized by neurologic symptoms such as convulsion and irritability, while honey poisonings by urinary symptoms such as osphyalgia and oliguria. Evidence on toxin contamination pathways and cooking methods also did not support the conclusion that bee pupae poisonings were correlated with honey poisonings. Conclusion Toxic contamination of bee pupae by honey and pollen from toxic plants collected by bees is not the cause of bee pupae poisonings in Yunnan Province.
