Since last year had the greatest amount of bee loss ever, it is about time people start paying more attention to our pollinators. Honeybees do about 80% of all crop pollination--a HUGE number. Because bee loss has increased over the past few years and also because honey is a popular sweetener on the market these days, the price of honey has been increasing as well. The demand is only going to keep rising and if you have problems getting honey, please consider calling your local congressman, senator and the EPA to encourage them to enforce laws concerning pesticide/insecticide application and to go after the cause of bee loss.
