"Madam President, as we are all aware, the honeybee population has seen a stark decline these past few years, which subsequently could have a devastating effect on Europe’s ability to produce crops that require pollination. A number of factors have been attributed to this decline, and Welsh beekeepers – although they themselves are increasing in number – are concerned about their bee population’s long-term survival. Indeed, such is the revival of beekeeping in the UK that even the London Stock Exchange now boasts beehives on its London City roof.
The Tabajdi report offers a balanced view of reasons for honeybee mortality and rightly calls for more research funding to be made available from the FP8 programme to focus on bee disease prevention and to find possible solutions. I hope researchers look globally for case studies and do not begin from a prejudiced viewpoint with respect to certain pesticides and genetic technologies. Independent research needs to be just that: independent and without bias."@en1
