St. Lucia: Bee Keepers Face Declining Populations

Bee keepers in the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia are facing a decline in local bee populations. They are demanding the adoption of legislation to address the problem and avoid the bees' extinction. The decline in the bee population has been attributed to climate change and the use of pesticides and chemicals. The price of honey has already skyrocketed and many bee keepers could lose their livelihood if the situation continues unabated. Alison Kentish reports from Castries, St. Lucia. teleSUR
