Bee population decline 'will continue'

The Natural Resources Ministers says that despite work to support bee populations for the last 30 years, the 'trend will continue' if prompt action isn't taken.

Launching a new strategy to support 'pollinator' populations, Alun Davies said that the UK bee population has an estimated impact of £430million every year.

There has been a great deal of interest in our work to protect pollinator populations in Wales. The draft action plan sets out our vision for the best way forward and I would urge anyone with an interest to consider the content of the plan and feed back their comments.**

Pollinators are vital to our future health and well being so it is important that we all work together to get this plan right.**

– Alun Davies AM, Natural Resources Minister
