An international panel of experts recently concluded that the destruction of nature and the rampant use of pesticides are the main drivers behind the accelerated loss of bees and other pollinator species worldwide. Changes in land use have greatly contributed to the decline of bees, according to a global index of the causes of pollinator decline and its effects.
