Honeybee decline 'could be disastrous' for food production
07.06.2012

By Martha Moss

The EU must do more to protect Europe's honeybee population if it wants to secure food production in the years to come, a parliament conference has heard.

Tuesday's discussion, organised as part of European bees and pollination week, brought together scientists, industry and policymakers to discuss the link between biodiversity and pollinator decline.
Opening the debate, French EPP deputy Gaston Franco warned that "the consequences of the disappearance of bees could be a disaster".
"Our future lies with sustainable agriculture," said Franco, who is chair of the forestry subgroup in parliament's climate change, biodiversity and sustainable development intergroup.
