The Italian government banned the use of several seed treatment pesticides that are blamed for the deaths of millions of honeybees.
Bees are vital -- because of their pollinating in the fields -- to any nation's food production and to European agriculture worth €22 billion annually. That's why Europe has voted to enforce the world's first continent-wide ban on common insecticides linked to serious harm in bees.
Squadrons of bumblebees are being deployed in the UK in a novel attempt to prevent grey mold from ruining the crop of summer strawberries. The bees are routed via a one-way system in their hive through a tray of harmless fungus spores which, when delivered to flowers, ensure that the grey mold cannot take hold as the fruit grows.
The ban is being hailed as a "historic" conservational victory for honeybees and the environment.
The grocery chain plans on increasing selection of helpful products as well as distancing themselves from suppliers that use harmful pesticides.
