Dr David Aston, the Chairman of BBKA, has written to all the beekeeping associations with some news on their representation to the government on neonicotinoids:
The BBKA has been awaiting the publication of reports from the European Food Standards Authority on the risk of three neonicotinoid insecticides to honeybees, bumble and solitary bees.
These reports have now been published and the attached statement sets out the BBKA's position on EFSA's research and recommendations to the government and regulatory authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of our honeybees.
