E. whereas the health of individual bees and colonies is affected by numerous lethal and sub-lethal factors, many of them interconnected; whereas the limited number of marketed medicines to fight the Varroa destructor mite are in many cases no longer sufficiently efficient, owing to the emergence of resistance; whereas the use of pesticides, changing climatic and environmental conditions, loss of plant biodiversity, land use change, mismanaged beekeeping practices and the presence of invasive species may weaken colonies' immune systems and favour opportunistic pathologies; whereas honeybees can be exposed to plant protection products ...[+++] via direct and indirect pathways such as wind drifting, surface water, droplet guttation, nectar and pollen,
