'A new study covering 17 EU countries
says that far more honeybees are dying in the UK and other parts of northern
Europe than in Mediterranean countries.
The European Commission says it is Europe's most comprehensive study so far of bee colony deaths.
Winter mortality was especially high for bees in Belgium (33.6%) and the UK (29%) in 2012-13. But in spring-summer 2013 France was highest with 13.6%.
Bumblebees and other wild bees were not studied, nor were pesticide impacts.'
