Lead, zinc and honey

The guilty of the deaths of 20 million bees in Siberia seemed to be found

The cause of death in July 20 million bees in the Bogotolsky district (West of the Krasnoyarsk Territory) could be the activities of the Private Agro -holding Gift Malinovka, which uses pesticides in the rapeseed fields of three village councils. Notices on the processing of fields for the authorities and beekeepers were not sent, the representative of the "gifts" was called to initiate an administrative case. This was stated by the regional prosecutor's office.

Laboratory studies of samples of the dead bees were conducted, in them lead, copper, zinc were found in them. Similar heavy metals are also contained in the samples of the rapeseed, however, “there was no toxicity; By legislation, the standards (criteria) of the content of substances in the body of bees are not established. ” In this connection, Bogotolsky veterinarians sent samples of dead bees to study in the Kursk Vetlaboratory to establish the presence of a residual substance - pesticides.

The police organized a preliminary investigation, the prosecutor of the region took the investigation under personal control. The SK connected , as well as profile oversees departments. In the framework of the administrative under the article “Violation of the legislation in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population”, the legal entity threatens from 10 to 20 thousand rubles or suspension of work for up to 90 days. And the damage, according to the calculations of beekeepers, is several million rubles. The villagers also fear a deterioration in water quality due to field processing.

"Raspberry Gifts" are justified. Chairman of the Board of Directors Vasily German: “We notify everyone through newspapers and the district administration about the facts of the upcoming processing so that people can prepare, do not let out bees. But if the beekeeper is not registered, does not interact with the administration and does not read newspapers, we cannot convey this information. In this area, in addition to the “Malinov’s Gifts”, another 20-30 farms are working, and only us are accused. In the case of our proven guilt, we are ready to meet. We are already conducting a dialogue. Of the more than 80 registered beekeepers of the Bogotolsky district, 27 were submitted for compensation, and only two of them were officially registered. If we talk about the correct work that will reduce or reduce such incidents to zero, you need a service, for example, as in the Ministry of Emergencies, when automatic notifications for the phone come. But there is no such program. ”

Not to say that this is a rare or outstanding emergency scale. Just in the election suffering from the peasants, as usual, there are many defenders; Whoever did not speak in defense of the beekeepers. It was as if it were not neighbors poisoning each other with pesticides, but the Martians flew in. In the “Malinovka’s gifts”, as in all other agricultural enterprises, the same Achin residents and bogouts work. And two years ago, the bees died for the bogotol in the same way. And before that - in the Karatuz district. However, it is possible to list cases of mass deaths of bees for a long time - and not only in Siberia, Russia, all over the world.

The March Presidium of the SB RAS made a lot of noise: Siberian academics introduced censorship and classified digital data from the report on the pollution of the cities of Asian Russia.

However, only one of the reports and its discussion attracted the attention of the public, and the whole video of the meeting was deleted from open access - all 4 hours 20 minutes, and there were a lot about the presidium. In particular, in the classified report there simply were no numbers about soil pollution with nitrates and fluorides in Eastern Siberia, but when the word took one of the following speakers, just a narrow specialist, it was clearly indicated that the former stereotypes about the environmental purity of our farm products and disgusting, chemicals and fruits from China are not true: we came to the point. That agricultural production from the PRC is already a sample in ecological purity, it is much more preferable to domestic, since there are more attention to soil pesticides allowed with us for a long time prohibiting us.

Indeed, Chinese is already replacing local honey, it is taken willingly.

120–150 years ago, the Siberian honey was supplied to the royal family, the entire highlight in St. Petersburg and Moscow, to many European courts.
