More good news: bee deaths 'not' caused by pesticides

So am I, jess, but what they have claimed is very easily tested. So people who are sceptical of the claims can go and test. Simple. #howscienceworks

Yes. That is what I meant.

Very hungry. Most pollination of food crops is done by bees. No pollination, no fruit, no cereal crop. No food.

Where would any of us be without bees?

the varroa virus spread by mites is established as the main eradicator of honeybees throughout the world. Those of us who have been to New Zealand know how worried they are there about the possibility of its spreading to their honey producing bees - where would their manuka honey industry be then?

Chemicals can't do them any good though. I say go for belt and braces.

Am somewhat sceptical about the pronouncements of the manufacturer.
Journalists write these headlines but a fairer headline would be "Manufacturer disputes EFSA's conclusions"

It's good that they've proved it's not pesticides. Last I heard they were also looking at it being some sort of virus.

I haven't read the link yet but I thought they knew it was some kind of bug that was doing the most damage.

Will read link after porridge.
