Bee Shortage
April 28, 2009
Four years ago Vince Cable was attacked by Gordon Brown for supporting more funding into bee keeping and diseases associated with the British and furthermore European bees.
Now years later, it comes to light that the European beekeeping industry could potentially be wiped out in the next 8 to 10 years. The causes are disease, insecticides and intensive farming.
In 2008, a third of Europe’s hives died, that’s around 13.6 million hives.
The long term affect of this is that farmers will struggle to farm, as the Bees will not pollinate the crops.
Vince Cable was also the person that predicted the collapse of Northern Rock. Perhaps Labour and The Conservatives should start listening to the Lib Democrats; they may actually know what they’re talking about!!!
