HONEY production is dropping severely in France with beekeepers blaming the use of certain pesticides. Last year’s production was just 15,000 tonnes, compared to 33,000 in 1995, and mortality rates of bee colonies have been rising.
In our area we know many beekeepers who are also worried about the deaths of whole colonies last year and restricted honey production.
Val says I read somewhere that bees in city hives were doing better than country bees struggling with farmers pesticides.
