Greek Honey, Greek Bees
There has been much discussion of the effect of agricultural pesticides on honey bees. See for instance, the feature on bees in Countryfile (BBC IPlayer, from the 9.40' mark)
Neonicotinoids (BBC)
European Food Safety Authority
Here's a perspective from Greece (enetEnglish). Many Greek bee-keepers are able to keep their hives in wilder mountainous areas, well away from agricultural pesticides, but they are still worried.
