We Need All the Bees, and They Need Us
By: Matt Mulica, Honey Bee Health Coalition

For at least 3,000 years, humans have taken on the responsibility of ensuring honey bees have adequate food in exchange for honey and pollination. Especially in recent decades, humans have relied on honey bees to pollinate crops to feed the growing world, including the fruits, vegetables, and nuts that are among the most nutritious parts of our diets. All told, honey bees support about $18B a year in produce.

Today, commercially managed honey bees and their keepers travel the country for about 6 months of the year to pollinate crops - from California almonds to Maine blueberries. Although roughly 4,000 species of wild bees live in the United States, managed honey bees are uniquely capable of filling this pollination need. Between these relatively short pollination events, the bees keep living, which means they need to keep feeding. For bees, one of the best natural defenses against stress and disease, such as those brought on by Varroa mites, is a rich, diverse diet of pollen and nectar. They must have access to flowers blooming across the landscape throughout the year.
