Information

The number of bees has decreased by 25% in the last 25 years and several studies have identified a correlation between this decline and pesticide use. A number of experts affiliated with the honey industry argue that it is merely a correlation between the use of pesticides and the decrease in the number of bees. A group of scientists assumes that at least 25% of the measured decrease is a direct causal consequence of the use of pesticides.

Statement

25 years ago there were more bees than at present.
