Summary
The U.S. beekeeping industry is experiencing unprecedented losses, with hundreds of millions of bees dying over the past eight months.
Blake Shook, a leading beekeeper, called it “the worst bee loss in recorded history.”
Researchers remain uncertain about the cause, pointing to potential factors like habitat changes and weather patterns.
Beekeeping operations are struggling to survive, raising concerns about food security and the sustainability of crop production.
I literally saw a dead bumble bee out on the pavement yesterday… soo not good…
Believe it or not, bees aren’t supposed to be immortal. Dead bees on random pavements are just sign that bees exist around somewhere.
Not good would be not finding anyone, drad or alive.
