Tamra read the following information on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) website while researching for a report on hone
ybees. Pollinators are a vital part of agricultural production. In the United States, more than one-third of all crop production – 90 crops ranging from nuts to berries to flowering vegetables - requires insect pollination. Managed honeybee colonies are our primary pollinators, adding at least $15 billion a year by increasing yields and helping to ensure superior-quality harvests.
However, our beekeepers have been steadily losing colonies. The number of honeybee hives in this country has decreased from 6 million in the 1940s to about 2.5 million today.
