Yet, without honey, honey bee colonies would starve during the cold winter months and during nectar shortages. This has an important impact on our three pillars of sustainability. ]]> 2018-03-09 03:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kverdecchio/atflh6hxfcn1/wish/240000842 kverdecchio https://padlet.com/kverdecchio/atflh6hxfcn1/wish/240001323 Where have all the bees gone?  Genetically modified crops, global warming, sunspot activity and cell phones have all been suggested as cause for the bees' sudden disappearance.
The term "colony collapse disorder" was coined to describe the sudden disappearance of foraging bees leading to the eventual demise of whole colonies. Without the honey bees and production of honey our agriculture system will suffer great loses.

While crop pollination is the most important function of a honeybee, people also use honey for beeswax , candles, cosmetics, were harvested for various reason just as today.  Honey is a natural sweetener, has a valuable antibacterial component.  It is also used to help aid allergies.  Without the creation of honey a honeybee is unable to function and live.    ]]> 2018-03-09 03:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kverdecchio/atflh6hxfcn1/wish/240001421 kverdecchio https://padlet.com/kverdecchio/atflh6hxfcn1/wish/240001451 According to the National Agriculture Statistics, " It is estimated that in North America around 30% of the food humans consume is produced from bee pollinated plant life. The value of pollination by bees is estimated around $16 billion in the US alone. We would be unable to enjoy most of our favorite fruits, vegetables, or nuts without these pollinators. Bees also pollinate crops such as clover and alfalfa that cattle feed on, making bees important to our production and consumption of meat and dairy. Honey production from around 135 thousand American beekeepers caring for approximately 2.44 million colonies totaled almost 148.5 million pounds in 2007. This production was worth over $150 million with a per pound cost of all honey at 103 cents." (National Agricultural Statistics Service).
