Question 14003 — animals

Summary

Mr. Philippe Schreck alerts the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty to the phenomenon of the disappearance of bees. Beekeepers have been raising the alarm for years about the predation of Asian hornets on bees in France. This entire sector of excellence is in danger. Introduced in 2004 in Europe, Asian hornets have interfered in the food chain by growing rapidly. exponential and upsetting it. Bee colonies are decimated by this pest. If nothing is done, bees and beekeepers will disappear. However, bees are essential to biodiversity since they are the main pollinating animal and the development of all flora depends on them. Albert Einstein predicted that “if bees disappeared from the face of the earth, man would only have four years to live. Public policies seem to downplay this crucial economic and ecological problem. In an emergency, hornet nests must be systematically destroyed and at the right time. But this is too uncertain as long as the fight remains optional and managed at the local level. The MP alerts the Minister to this problem which is becoming an ecological emergency. Indeed, the eradication of these nests being very costly, individuals as long as municipalities refuse to take charge of them. The fight against Asian hornets must imperatively become a global and national policy, with two major changes: the obligation imposed on the State representative to eradicate the nests, which is currently only optional, according to the provisions of article L. 411-8 of the environmental code; and financial support by the State considering that the municipalities cannot finance everything. The eradication of Asian hornets must be a sovereign mission and the State cannot persist in passing on its missions to local communities. He asks when such a comprehensive policy across the entire territory can be implemented.
