EU agriculture is also pesticide and insecticide heavy and only getting worse lately. Another problem (in Eastern Europe) is the use of banned chemicals, usually imported from Turkey or China. How do I know?
1. I used to keep bees for ~20 years. Saw a gradual decline in population ~5 years ago and now they are all dead. Same for most of the people in my community, except a few of them that do kind of "industrial" beekeeping, which requires lots of attention and is not feasible for a hobbyist.
2. When I asked some of the smaller farmers in the area why this is happening, they told be about the illegal imports that many are doing to stay competitive.
3. Tried complaining to authorities several times in the past. Whether out of negligence or corruption, they simply don't care.
