 According to an investigation by the Dutch television documentary programme, Zembla (the broadcast was titled "The Murder of the Honeybee"), Wageningen UR's ties with chemical giants such as [[Bayer]] and [[BASF]] have prevented it from being objective in its evaluation of the role of pesticides in bee mortality.
