"Commercially bred bee populations sometimes succumb to a disease called “colony collapse disorder” – which scientists associate with “bee management stress”, “pesticide poisoning” and “inadequate foraging/ malnutrition”.
"Bees are bred and raised with the sole purpose of producing honey. However, breeding sometimes involves transporting different species of bees to the same hive, which increases their susceptibility to disease and death. These diseases are then transmitted to thousands of other pollinators, on whom we and other animals rely for survival.
Due to the mass breeding of bees, the number of bumblebees and many species of birds has decreased."
