Question 45522 — environment

Summary

Mr. Gérard Leseul draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition to the collapse of bee colonies. According to a report from the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE), domestic bee populations have suffered significant losses since the 1990s. The reasons are multiple, presence of pesticides, lack of food diversity in agricultural areas cereal crops, disappearance of hedges, existence of diseases or even proliferation of predators such as Asian hornets or Varroa. The role of these pollinating insects is fundamental for plant reproduction. With a significant decline in the bee population, there are fears that the plants we use for food and medicine will disappear. Despite significant work by associations and beekeepers to preserve and reintroduce swarms, it is possible to see a steady decline in the bee population. He questions him in order to learn about the measures that the Government plans to implement quickly to protect these pollinating insects essential to fruit agriculture and food.
