‘Sobering statistic’: One-fifth of pollinators in North America at extinction risk

Mar 31

One-fifth of pollinators in North America face extinction risks, according to a new survey. Researchers said the new data highlighted the U.S. beekeeping industry’s crisis over unexplained bee deaths.

Blake Shook reported, “The data is showing us this is the worst bee loss in recorded history,” which could threaten food production in the United States.

A survey from Project Apis m revealed that U.S. commercial beekeepers experienced an average loss of 62% of their colonies over the past winter.

Shook expressed concerns that if this trend continues, it will fundamentally alter food consumption in the U.S., noting, “There is no almond crop without honeybees.”
