Supermarket Without Bees: What Would The Produce Section Look Like Without Pollinators (PHOTOS)
Have apples, carrots, lemons or watermelon on your grocery list? Bad news -- without bees (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/sharethebuzz), these foods could be much harder to find in the produce section, according to a new campaign from Whole Foods Market.
Bees (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/bees) are still having a rough time. The British Beekeepers Association said more than a third of colonies died (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jun/13/honeybee-colonies-england-winter) in England this past winter, and U.S. populations suffered similar drops. Researchers have said an industry practice of feeding bees corn syrup (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/04/us-bee-deaths-colony-collapse_n_3379506.html?utm_hp_ref=bees) may spur colony collapse disorder, which could affect the $30 billion crop industry (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/06/honey-bees-dying-food-disaster_n_3225599.html?utm_hp_ref=bees) dependent on bee pollination.
