Unprecedented Decline in Honeybee Populations Shocks U.S. Experts

U.S. beekeepers repeatedly reported a steady decline in honeybee populations over the course of the past decade but the situation worsened last year. According to a recent survey led by an professional group, beekeepers lost more than 40 percent of their colonies in the last 12 months.

But this doesn’t only mean that honey production will be severely affected. Crops of any sorts will face the consequences since honeybees do the hard work in pollinating them. And with no one around to do the job, fruit trees, for instance, would no longer be able to bear fruits.

Honey bees are not native to north america. Plants do just fine without them.
