In Vojvodina, a North part of Serbia, a plain, there were huge losses of bee colonies. Some beekeepers lost more then 80% or even 90% and more. Very serious losses were on the border between Serbia and Romania (it is also Vojvodina) too. As I know for now, wintering in other parts of Serbia is very good, with very small loses, under average and somewhere is excellent! In Serbia there are sunflower fields only in Vojvodina. As I know from last year, all sunflower seeds in Serbia had to be treated with neonic. I would like so much to know what happened there. And not only me...
