The motion
That this House notes the rapid decline of the honey bee population in the United Kingdom and understands the tremendous adverse effect that this will have in pollination and subsequently food production; and urges the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to ascertain the numbers of the honey bee population, consult those producing the new pesticide aimed at killing the varroa mite that has decimated the honey bees and set aside money to support projects which increase the honey bee population as a matter of urgency.
