lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, whilst it is true that in general, the bee population is declining, it is also equally true that their importance within agriculture is undervalued by many. Without bees, many crops would fail and in Northern Ireland, we are particularly privileged to have a very good product in the Armagh Bramley apple. These orchards are, of course, especially reliant on bees for pollination, and on a recent visit to some orchard owners, they expressed grave concern over the bee population. I agree that funding should be made available to research the disease and monitor bee populations across Europe. However, I would plea for a balanced view of the decline of the bee population; we must not use agriculture as a scapegoat for this, but actually investigate ways of improving the bee population and the disease and parasites that affect it."@en1
