Nine years ago beekeepers were worried a “Beemageddon” was on the way with hives everywhere collapsing. The loss of honey bees was putting $15 billion in crops US honey bees pollinate on the line. In a slice of good news, it looks like honey bees are on the up.
This month the USDA reported that the bee colony count in the States went from 2.4 million back when “colony collapse disorder” (or CCD) started in 2006 to 2.7 million last year. This is the most hives they seen since 1994.
