The European Food Standards Agency (EFSA) has published new guidance about bee health.
I’m glad that this is happening. That EFSA considers several different ways that bees can be exposed to pesticides.
Also, I’m glad that EFSA takes wild bees and other pollinating insects seriously. As Damian Carrington at the Guardian tells us, it’s not just honeybees that pollinate plants. He tells of evidence that, across the world now, wild bees and other insects are twice as effective as honeybees in producing seeds and fruit on crops.

Thank you.
You’re welcome.
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme.
Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz respond as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. appreciate it
I’m glad you like my blog. Its layout is one of the standard ones, available free on WordPress. I use several of the ‘widgets’ that WP provides on the ‘dashboard’ to make my blog look how I want it. The photo I use as wallpaper (6 month old lambs, with a sheepdog) is mine. When I show other people’s art I acknowledge the artist.
What are you going to blog about?
Bravo, Europe! Still waiting for this sort of sensibility in the states.
Yes. I just hope the EU-US trade negotiations, happening right now, don’t bring us under pressure to break our promises to bees.
Definitely.
