Millions of bees died in the Urals.

      Beekeepers from the Argayash district of the Chelyabinsk region complained to the Rosselkhoznadzor about a mass die-off of bees. According to preliminary data, more than 5 million individuals have died there. Farmers believe that the cause of death was the treatment of agricultural fields with chemicals.

      — We received two complaints. Specialists went to the sites. Soil and crop samples were taken. They are currently in the laboratory. If pesticides are found in the samples, legal measures will be applied to the landowners, the press service of the Ural Interregional Office of Rosselkhoznadzor reported.

      The press service of the regional Ministry of Agriculture added that field treatments are carried out according to specific rules. Agrarians must notify beekeepers in advance about such treatments, Ura.Ru writes. It was previously reported that millions of beetles and ticks were brought to Yekaterinburg.
