The article published December 14, 2012 on the Parliamentary hearing on pollinator health and pesticides, misidentified the percent of crops pollinated by bees other than honey bees. Research on honeybee pollination of crops in the UK by Breeze et al. (2011) indicates that honeybees are capable of supplying 34 percent of pollination services. In other words, 66 percent of crops in the UK are pollinated by other means than honeybees, not 90 percent as previously stated.
