There is great concern across Europe about the collapse of bee populations. Neonicotinoid chemicals in pesticides are believed to harm bees and the European Commission says they should be restricted to crops not attractive to bees and other pollinators.

According to EU rules the Commission will now impose a two-year restriction on neonicotinoids - and the UK cannot opt out.[/quote]
