It’s all the buzz

The decline of our pollinators is of serious concern for farmers, commercial vegetable producers, fruit growers and beekeepers. This is a complex problem with a number of contributing factors. The loss and degradation of habitat and food sources for pollinators, pesticides, parasitic mites and pathogens all appear to be inter-related and are suspected causes of pollinator decline.
