Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says.
Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says.
"I got a call from a friend who had 20,000 beehives at the start of the winter, and he's at less than 1,000. He said 'This is it, I'm done.' I've had far too many of those calls in the last few weeks," Shook said. "It's not just a beekeeper issue. This is a national food security issue."
Losing 95% of his beehives must be devastating.
If you have a garden, plant flowers instead of keeping a boring grass lawn.

Thank you for this.
Quick, add beehives to the USDA word ban list! Problem solved!
