Honeybees colonies – critical for agricultural production!!! – were declining and that triggered the attention of authorities and scientists.

Many reasons were listed:

• insufficient forage
•  bad weather
• starvation
• pesticides

Pesticides were seen as cause numbers 1 and some of them were banned (e.g. neonicotinoids).

Good news is that in Norther America and Europe for the first time in the last 2 decades the number of honeybees colonies rose again!

Great reason to celebrate ! – with honey of course and clean, pure nature !
