Greenpeace Visits Beekeeper in Sendenhorst

Greenpeace Germany Campaigner for Sustainable Agriculture, Dirk Zimmermann, visits beekeeper (apiarist), Dr. Simon Bach, in Sendenhorst.
Healthy bee populations are of ecological and economic importance. There is an urgent need for the elimination of bee-harming pesticides from agriculture. Such elimination would be a crucial and effective first step to protect the health of bee populations and to safeguard their pollination value that is vital for the ecosystem and food production in Europe.
