The Po Valley finds his bees. It seems the title of a fairy tale, but that it is the happy consequence of the prohibition of use of neonicotinoids, pesticides are particularly dangerous, since September last year that protects the area. The use of toxic substances on Agriculture was and remains a problem throughout the world, and the plague of bees is a strong symptom, the animals striped yellow and black are in fact halved between 2007 and 2008.
The consequences of this "extermination" should not be underestimated: not only is beekeeping as a hobby at risk, but the productive sectors that without the work of pollinating bees would have no way to exist, says Matthew Ansari, an agronomist of the CIA (Italian Farmers Confederation), that if an apple tree is at a maximum distance of 300 feet from a hive produces 26 pounds of apples a year, that amount is reduced to just nine pounds if it is instead within a mile.
Obviously unanimous appreciation from the world of agriculture, not least the Minister for Agriculture, Luca Zaia, among other beekeeper with a passion, which speaks of the victory of bees on multinationals.

Welcome back, bees!
Po Valley Finds His bees. It Seems a title of a fairy tale, But That It is the happy Consequence of the Prohibition on the use of neonicotinoids, Particularly Harmful pesticides, Which Protects the area since September last year. Toxic Substances using on Agriculture Was (and remains) a problem throughout the world, and the mortality of bees is a so strong symptom, that yellow and black striped insects will have halved between 2007 and 2008. The consequences of this "extermination" should not be underestimated: it is not only beekeeping as a hobby at risk, but the productive sectors that work without the pollination of bees so they would not have to exist, says Matteo Ansanelli, agronomist of Italian Farmer Association, that if an apple tree is at a maximum distance of 300 meters from a hive produces 26 kilos of apples a year, that amount is reduced to just nine kilograms when it is in a radius of 1.5 kilometre. Obviously there's unanimous appreciation from the world of agriculture, not least the Minister of Agriculture Luca Zaia, among other beekeeper for passion, which speaks of victory of bee on multinationals.
