"Honeybees are responsible for a decisive and necessary stage in the reproduction of plant species: pollination. By transferring pollen from one plant to another, they guarantee the sustainability and biodiversity of our crops, and therefore our food security. The misuse of pesticides, climate change, monoculture farming and parasitism have caused bee colonies to collapse. Their disappearance is endangering our agriculture. The survival of the vast majority of plant species and of our food production, but also the incomes of 600 000 people in Europe, amateurs and professionals, are at stake. What is more, because of the specific nature of this form of rearing, training for beekeepers does not exist; nor does awareness raising for farmers, or a specialised veterinary industry. Today, an emergency has been finally declared. It is important to protect this beekeeping industry as soon as possible through the following: by encouraging young people to become beekeepers, by supporting the research of the pharmaceutical industry in this field, by establishing a permanent dialogue between the different actors, and by creating a harmonised European registration network. The preservation of biodiversity, the quality of our food and the survival of the beekeeping industry will depend on our willingness to act."@en1
