Local beekeepers have discovered numerous hives with entire populations dead while the brood and honey remain untouched in the municipalities of Meoqui, Rosales, Ojinaga, Camargo, and Saucillo. They attribute this phenomenon to the use of broad-spectrum agrochemicals in nearby fields, and so far, no one has taken responsibility for these losses. Disturbing images show a dark carpet of dead bees on dry ground in front of a hive, with frames still filled with honey and sealed brood. Beekeepers in Chihuahua have been documenting these findings, agreeing on a common cause: poisoning from agrochemicals used in local agricultural activities.
