A recent report from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has found that a significant number of European bee colonies have been declining over the past decade. According to the report, which was published in April 2013, approximately 15% of the continent's bee colonies disappeared between 2007 and 2012. The EFSA attributed the decline to a combination of factors, including the use of certain pesticides, climate change, and a lack of forage for bees. The agency also noted that the decline in bee populations poses a threat to European agriculture, as bees play a crucial role in pollinating many crops.
