RE: The bees are dying in large numbers here in agricultural France: WHAT IS GOING ON?
I have seen similar scenes of dead and confused Bees here in Ireland. As you say this has been an area of concern for some time and it is time for the EU to take positive action as soon as possible. My brother in law is a farmer and he was required to attend training courses on the responsible use of pesticides and fertilizers. Although he had to fund the training from his own pocket he was grateful for the opportunity to learn the correct way of managing his land. I believe the farming community in general understand the importance of sustainable agricultural practices, it is down to the powers that be to take urgent action and ban Neonicotinoid pesticides now.
No doubt there will be many European sites going through this each Spring. @iamjamie at the top of the comments here is based in Thailand and seeing it over there.
Fingers crossed that urgent action is coming soon!
