    Christian Pons, the UNAF president, told reporters the law “claims to defend French food sovereignty, but since when is it acceptable to destroy one sector – that of beekeepers – in order to save another, for example that of hazelnut trees?”

      But there is no choice. It’s either the farm sector or the bee sector. I think the farm sector is more important since it produces more food.

      I assume not all bee hives are located near farms.
