Honey bees Disappear

Crops are not producing as much as they once did. The Reason...any thing that depends on the bees to pollinate it, has been reduced due to a lack of bees!

"A Cornell University study has estimated that honeybees annually pollinate more than $14 billion worth of seeds and crops in the United States, mostly fruits, vegetables and nuts. “Every third bite we consume in our diet is dependent on a honeybee to pollinate that food,” said Zac Browning, vice president of the American Beekeeping Federation."
