An attempt to kill mosquitoes appears to have killed a bunch of honeybees. http://www.journalscene.com/20160829/160829780/residents-angered-over-honeybee-deaths-
best reading.

Obviously, the current decline of pollinators is becoming a threat for food security. It is multifarous reasons why most pollinators have been reducing since recent decades. Less attention is given for the role of pollinators in food security particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia. As a result, unwise application of pesticides for agricultural production and floricultural industries has been identified as the causes for the massive deaths of pollinators including bees, beetles, butterflies...etc.
Therefore, all stakeholders including growers, beekeepers and policy makers should bring their attention to save the decline of pollinators in alarming rates. Government should support in the way to minimize the unwise use of agrochemicals and awareness should be created in all sectors involved to protect the loss of these beneficiary animals. Trainings at higher level is also required to provide technologies that will help to mitigate the situation between pesticide applications and protect pollinators.
