Scientists around the world are encouraged to create conditions for breeding of bees, populations of which have begun to decline sharply since 1990-ies. The phenomenon is called “syndrome of destruction of colonies”. It is associated with pathogens that cause diseases of bees and use of pesticides.
If the bees disappear, the world disappears honey and many species of plants that depend on pollination, and even reduced the number of cattle fed alfalfa.
