Briefing - Preserving the Wellbeing of the Honey Bee (31 Aug 2010)
Issue:biodiversity, communication, environmental safety, stewardship
For some years, noticeable bee colony losses have been observed in many parts of the world, well in excess of the range of losses that is considered normal. Bee experts and registration authorities globally have concluded that these losses are due to a variety of causes, sometimes interrelated, including bee diseases, parasite infestation (particularly by the Varroa mite), unfavourable environmental and climatic conditions, as well as agricultural and apicultural practices. Poor bee nutrition, mass bee transportation over long distances, and poor bee husbandry are also likely to be contributing to higher colony losses. A wide body of studies and investigations by scientific institutes and official bodies has found no scientifically founded causal link between any single pesticide or biotech crop.
