"The importance of the #apiculture sector is far greater than its contribution to GDP, as over 80 percent of #crop yields and 75 percent of European food production depend on 🐝bee #pollination." —Minister of Agriculture of Hungary 🇭🇺 István Nagy euobserver.com/opinion/14660…

Replying to @IPBES
This is mixing up beekeeping with the issues facing wild bees and other pollinators. Not only that, but the statistics are incorrect. I expect better of IPBES!

Hi Jeff - thanks as always for engaging. The piece is an Opinion-editorial by the Enviro Minister of an IPBES member State - it’s shared to alert our community to a viewpoint - not to endorse the stats (as u know IPBES has a lengthy Report on this from 2016)
