Bees are crucial for the reproduction of wild plants.
They are the multiplicity of life. In the PROVINCE OF QUINDIO COLOMBIA, between 2016 and 2021, there have been massive deaths of bees.
This is due to the use of the pesticide friponil. In 2016, 48 percent of the quindio hives disappeared, due to the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals in monoculture diversity in Colombia and the province of Quindio.
