European beekeeping is in crisis
European beekeeping is in crisis, so the European Commission must investigate the reasons for the decline in bee colonies and make a proposals to treat the crisis – Nagy István, Minister of Agriculture told EUObserver news portal in Brussels on Monday.
He pointed out that the European bee population is dying and that the number of pollinator species threatened with extinction. The main cause is human activity, urbanization, monoculture, various diseases threatening bees and the use of pesticides harmful to pollinators.
He reported that bee mortality in winter increased from 5-10 percent to 25-40 percent. (MTI)
