The bee population has been decreasing at an alarming rate for several years, with a total disappearance in certain areas.
In France, more than 30% of bee colonies disappear every year.
As a consequence of this “massacre”, in 10 years, 15 000 beekeepers have stopped their activity.
The “Colony Collapse Disorder” is a phenomenon that results in a sudden disappearance of bees in the hives, without any trace of dead or living bees nearby.
Pesticides would be the main cause affecting the central nervous system but it is probably a combination of factors (parasites, predators, modification of their habitat and scarcity of resources, climatic disruption…) and cocktails of pesticides.
As the bee plays a key role as a pollinator, this syndrome is very worrying and has serious consequences for our entire eco-system, both on an environmental and economic level.
Its disappearance would be a real catastrophe for nature and human beings.
We know that 80% of the crops depend on the action of pollinating insects.
Sponsorship allows Caragum to participate in the protection of bees and the development of colonies.
It means supporting local, artisanal and sustainable beekeeping.
