Every 3rd bite of food you eat was pollinated by a honey bee. They pollinate 80% of agriculture worldwide! Bees are vanishing. If we lose our honey bees, we lose our food supply! During the winter of 2012 - 2013, beekeepers in the U.S. experienced an average loss of 45% of their hives. Some areas had even higer losses. There are many things harming our honey bees such as pesticides, pests & diseases. Some studies suggest that pesiticides containing neonicotinoids or neonics are very toxic to our bees. If the bees aren't killed by the pesticides, their defenses are surely weakened making them more susceptible to mites, beetles and diseases.
