Welcome to The Honeybee Conservancy
The Buzz About Bees
It’s hard to imagine a world without a third of the fruits and vegetables we eat including berries, cucumbers, almonds and apples.
Yet honey bees and native bees have been mysteriously dying at a drastic rate, which affects $15 billion in crops in the U.S. alone.
The suspected causes of this decline range from pesticide use, habitat loss, parasites and illnesses to global warming and loss of biodiversity. While researchers investigate these causes, a growing network of people is taking action to help the bees.
