Over the past few years, colony collapse disorder has wiped out some entire beekeeping operations, and scientists don’t understand or agree on the cause. In Europe, respected scientists and agencies are declaring some popular pesticides too dangerous for bees.
A new study finds the decline in wild bees is bad news for agriculture, while domesticated bees continue to face a host of troubles.
The summit highlighted some sobering details on the scope of the problem, but it also gave a platform to Bayer, Syngenta, DuPont, and Monsanto — companies that make the very kinds of pesticides that have been linked to bee deaths. This week, Bayer also announced a “bee care tour” and new efforts to “minimize the impact” of neonicotinoid pesticides that mess with bee brains.,,, http://grist.org/news/domesticated-and-wild-bees-are-both-in-trouble/?utm_campaign=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter
