The Disappearance Of The Honeybees

Honeybees are dying off all over the United States, and without them we are going to be in a world of trouble. For the fourth year in a row, over a third of all bee colonies in the United States failed to survive the winter.

If you are not highly alarmed when you read that last sentence you need to be.

According to the annual survey by the Apiary Inspectors of America and the U.S. government's Agricultural Research Service, the number of managed honeybee colonies in the U.S. fell by 33.8% last winter.

So why are honeybees so important?

Well, because a third of all that we eat depends upon honeybee pollination.

Most flowering plants require insects for pollination. The most effective insect for pollination is the honeybee.

So if the number of honeybees continues to dramatically decline, we are going to be faced with a wrenching food crisis.

Are you prepared for that?
