🆘 The crazy climate shuts off buzzing of bees 🐝

Having overtaken the chemical attack in recent years, the bees are striking violently against climate change, proving once more, in spite of them, a precious sentinel in our environment.

2017 is prefiguring as the annus horribilis of honey: here in europe, the April frost followed by the heat wave in the following months has reduced the nectar contained in the plants, risking also affecting the production of the next few years.

"Once again the bees are revealed for what they are: an indicator of the changes in nature"
And even if the climatic conditions improve, the plants are too "stressed" and the flowers poor of nectar"

Not only global warming, but also pesticides and intensive agriculture are aggravating an already unfavorable balance.

Honey production in some places is at historic lows: production fell by 90%.

A black future, in short. Which at least for the moment only saves citrus and high mountain honey, above 1500 meters: "Through bees, plants are warning us that the green we see is lacking. Bees are anticipating what agriculture will face in the coming years."

To confirm the unpredictability of the effects of climate change is the report published in January by the European Commission on the implementation of national apiculture programs.

"This is a disaster that is there to hit in full. Even if we suddenly adopt the most virtuous behaviors we might be able to contain the damage for our grandchildren, but certainly not for our children!"
