LA UNIÓ de Llauradors has recently denounced the first cases of poisoning of bees that have been detected this year, as a result of the use of pesticides in the flowering of fruit trees, which is usually given from these dates. Thus, in the town of Cheste (Hoya de Buñol), a beekeeper has seen most of his dead bees and beehives practically without activity, which he had installed in a settlement very close to a fruit plantation. He has filed the corresponding complaint with the Civil Guard Barracks of this town of La Hoya de Buñol and now it is the Seprona who investigates the event.
From LA UNIÓ it is noticed that the agricultural activity and the beekeeping are perfectly compatible, as long as extreme precautions are taken when spraying the fields
In fact, the Ministry of Agriculture issues continuous notices to farmers so that no dangerous phytosanitary products are used during flowering and it would be desirable to avoid their use on these sensitive dates for bees.Source: LA UNIÓ
