The Essential Oil Component Terpinyl Acetate Alters Honey Bee Energy Levels and Foraging Behavior by Trey Mathews, Ella Joyce, Charles I. Abramson, Harrington Wells, Robert J. Sheaff

“…Using a cell culture model system, we found that terpinyl acetate is a potent and specific inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP production, suggesting it might function as a plant toxin. Remarkably, however, terpinyl acetate was not cytotoxic because cells switched to glycolysis to maintain ATP levels. …”
