"I voted in favour of this report because we are observing an ever-increasing decline in the number of bee colonies in the European Union. Bees make a very significant contribution to the improvement of biodiversity and to providing economic and social public goods. It is estimated that 84% of plant species and as much as 76% of food production in the European Union are dependent on pollination by bees, but their humming is becoming ever quieter. The economic value of bees is very important in the European Union, and action must therefore be taken as quickly as possible to determine how the causes of bee mortality can be reduced. It is believed that the main factors leading to increased bee mortality are the use of pesticides, climate change, air pollution and electromagnetic fields created by the equipment people use. In order to reduce these factors, action must be taken to improve the quality of the environment and reduce biocides and pesticides."@en1
