"In most cases, beekeeping plays a marginal role when referring to agriculture in the European Union. However, this sector provides primary or additional income for more than 600 000 citizens in the European Union. It offers vital services for agriculture through pollination and helps maintain biodiversity. It is estimated that 84% of plant species and 76% of food production in Europe are dependent on pollination by bees, the economic value of which is much greater than the value of the honey produced, estimated at EUR 15 billion per year in the EU.
Unfortunately, during the last decade, apiaries have faced an increased mortality rate due to both the use of pesticides and specific diseases.
I voted for this report on bee health and beekeeping drafted by Mr Tabajdi because I believe that it has taken into account all the problems facing beekeeping in Europe."@en1
