Bee Threats

 

A Reading University study has identified the many current threats to Honey bees. Honey bees are essential pollinators as well as being suppliers of honey. Threats include wars, causing film to reduce their planting of a range of flowering crops. Another threat are streetlights. Their artificial illumination reduces the bee’s visits to flowers. Micro plastics are also a danger. High concentrations have been found in many hives.
