Bee pollination accounts for 76 per cent of food production and 84 per cent of plant species.
OK, I know it is Friday and I am tired, but what on earth does that sentence mean? Quite apart from the spurious accuracy of 76 ((At least is wasn’t 75%, Ed.)) and 84. I’m glad to know that MEPs back plans to combat decreasing bee numbers, as reported by The Parliament, and that “the European parliament’s agriculture and rural development committee voted through a resolution on the issue on Thursday”. Alas, the report tells me nothing about the resolution and how it will actually help bees and beekeepers, nor where I can find out more.
You can find out (a little) more about this resolution.
The chief bee enthusiast in the European Parliament seems to be Mr Alojz Peterle. Maybe there is more on his website.
But it is in one of the 19 EU languages that I dont understand.
