An atypical situation has developed in apiaries of several regions of the Russian Federation at once.
The past week was marked for employees of Russian beekeeping farms by a massive plague of striped wards - the bees died both in the Bryansk region, and in Ryazan, Kursk and others.
The number of dead individuals has reached such a point that all these regions are currently on the verge of a large-scale environmental disaster.
At the moment, the amount of damage from the death of bees is several hundred thousand rubles per farm. And here it should be noted that Ryazan beekeepers are convinced that someone subjected their bees to mass poisoning. Either pesticides or other agrochemicals.
To restore the work of all affected farms to the level that was recorded before the death of insects, it will take several years of painstaking work.
And here it will not be amiss to note that about eighty percent of the work on the reproduction of flowers, forests, shrubs, medicinal crops, etc. can be called the merit of bees. Since, according to experts from the state union of beekeepers, fertilization occurs only in case of pollination.
