EU Approves More Restrictions on Pesticides
To protect the bee
The European Union has approved restrictions on three pesticides to better protect dwindling bee populations, to enter into force by December.
EU Health Commissioner Tonio Borg called Friday's decision a "milestone towards ensuring a healthier future for our honeybees." The move is backed by environmentalists but opposed by chemical companies.
