Just heard about this on the radio - but seems there are quite a few reports.
This may be the first

Great except:
It isn’t honey bees which are disappearing. It is wild species which need the help. Honey bees compete with wild pollinators.
More bee hives won’t solve the problems that Bee Mission identifies - pesticides, parasites and habitat loss.
Interesting about the wild bees - then I saw this UK charities condemn ‘betrayal’ of allowing bee-killing pesticide in sugar beet crops | Bees | The Guardian
Can you explain a little, please? I have read the Guardian article but I’m not sure what your point is.
I understood this to mean that someone is using insecticides that are bad for bees - yes?
Yes. Neonicotinoids have been an issue for many years, along with many other pesticides.
