Hello Steve!
Heres some stuff:
====ARTICLE====>
The Union of French Apiarists (Unaf) is campaigning against pesticides,
which it says are destroying the industry.
"These molecules are neurotoxins which disorientate the bee and make it
impossible for it to find the hive again," Unaf president Henri Clement
told AFP.
But others have blamed diversification for the decline, saying attempts by
beekeepers to increase production by importing unadapted foreign varieties
of bee have backfired.
Bees reared in cities 'healthier'

=======END=====>
I would like to find if there are manuscripts related to the statement by
the UNAF president.
Also I have comment by
Thiele Consult PR-Team in Germany
(peaking of pesticides and contamination)
“,,,,can not only lead to
communication - disorders within the colony, but causes by that also till
now unexplainable phenomena. Because, if the communication is disturbed,
the nectar - and pollen foragers can not decipher that "bee language" in
the hive anymore, or too less foragers react on the bee dances (which show
up the distance and quality of the feed source), thus too less nutritious
pollen resp. nectar is going to be collected and the colony dies by
starvation.”
Looking for manuscripts related to this also.
Best Wishes,
Joe
