United Nations-Environment Program.
UNITED NATIONS.
The United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) announced that it will implement a new a new initiative, to better protect bees, bats, birds and others that are vital to crop development, production and biodiversity.
The plan is for 5 years and is costing US$26 million, it will re introduce natural pollination, that has been killed off, by the use of insecticides and fertilizers.
The scheme is being financed, by the Global Environmental Facility(GEF) and coordinated by the UN food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).
This is good news for Argentina, who are the worlds largest producers of honey.

We are also preseving bees in East Africa from the eftects of global worming and the devistation of the enviroment and not to mention the use of careless use of pesticides in the horticultiral and flower industry

Inventory on the wild bees of Tunisia.
Summary: Our study is carried out in 3 sites of two populations: Northern East population Cape Bon [ Nabeul and Tunis ] and Population Kroumirie Mogood [ Tabarka ]. The sampling is carried out by yellow vats water.
The result of our identification by sites is as follows:
Tunis : (4 Family: 15 Genus) [ F Apidae (7Genus: Xylocopa, Bombus, Apis, Melecta, Nomada, Eucera and Anthophora), F.Andrenidae (2 kinds: Andrena and Panurgus), F.Megachilidae (3 Genus: Osmia, Hoplitis and Chelostoma) and F Halictidae (3Genus: Lasioglossum, Halictus and Sphecodes) ].
Nabeul : (4 Family: 11 Genus) [ F Apidae (5 Genus: Bombus, Apis, Ceratina, Eucera and Anthophora), F Andrenidae (2 Genus: Andrena and Panurgus), F Megachilidae (2 Genus: Osmia and Chelostoma) and F.Halictidae (1 Genus: Lasioglossum) ]
Tabarka : (5 Family: 20 Genus) [ F Apidae (7Genus: Xylocopa, Bombus, Apis, Ceratina, Nomada, Eucera and Anthophora), F Andrenidae (4 Genus: Andrena, Panurgus, Panurginus and Mellitturga), F Megachilidae (5 Genus: Osmia, Chelostoma, Hoplotis, Dioxys and Rhodanthidium) and F.Halictidae (3 genus: Lasioglossum, Sphecodes and Halictus), F.Colletidae (1Genus: Hylaeus) ]. The biodiversity of the honeybee pollinators in Tabarka is richer than Nabeul region. This difference seems related to pesticide treatments of crops in this region.
