environmentalists here in germany all warning off of the disaster if no action is taken be heading towards extinction the insects are crucial pollinate says and they've been condemned by is putting pressure on the world's food systems but the bees is back his in germany all against grinding up government bureaucracy advice distance from farm is. this is where i'm not lina and captain rule 2 of 10 queen bees here at the german parliament named after the 2 most important women in gemini's green party. daniel host stan started here 5 years ago with one colony now half a 1000000 bees a buzzing in the parliament garden. but he says of us we. have become the symbol for all the insects that we've been losing over the last few years is b.s. have it tough in agricultural environments because the number of trees is declining
