BBC News - Bee deaths: EU may ban neonicotinoid pesticides
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22335520

EU states are to vote shortly on a proposal to restrict the use of
pesticides linked to bee deaths in scientific studies.

There is great concern across Europe about the collapse of bee populations.

Neonicotinoid chemicals in sprays are believed to harm bees and the
European Commission says they should be restricted to crops not attractive
to bees and other pollinators.
