Decline of beekeeping
April 15, 2013
For the last 5-6 years there has been a decline of 20 million
pounds of honey per year in the U.S. Just in this year, California has been
200,000 hives short. Yet more and more crops are being planted in record
numbers. It doesn’t seem like there will be enough bees to pollinate these
crops. The number of beekeepers in the last century has dwindled rapidly. Is it
too late for beekeeping to make a rebound?
