Small molecules play a critical role in the biomedical, environmental, and agrochemical domains.
This work focuses on ApisTox, the most comprehensive dataset of experimentally validated chemical toxicity to the honey bee (Apis mellifera).
The evaluation of ApisTox using various machine learning approaches reveals that it represents a distinct chemical space.
The limited generalizability of current state-of-the-art algorithms trained solely on biomedical data highlights the need for targeted model development in the agrochemical domain.
