"Given the importance of honeybees for the maintenance of biodiversity, the implications of Colony Collapse Disorder are significant, and we must act now to prevent this. Farming activity can have an impact on bee colonies, especially if it leads to food shortages for bees, poor food resources or to inappropriate pesticide applications. These can contribute to the weakening of bee colonies which may then become more vulnerable to pests and diseases. We should also ensure that there is well coordinated communication between beekeepers and farmers to minimise the potential impact of farming activity on bees. We must have more harmonised data on disease incidence and colony losses throughout Europe, not just among domesticated honeybees, but also among wild bee colonies. Local apiculture organisations, like the Federation of Irish Beekeeping Associations in Ireland, can have a role to play in relation to the collection of harmonised data and must be involved in whatever actions we decide to take. Beekeepers themselves are primarily responsible for the health of their bees and we must look at providing quality training programmes in order to develop and maintain a healthy bee population in the EU."@en1
