"Bee genocide may have been caused by insecticides that make bees unable to walk in a straight line. When exposed to neonicotinoids, bees start to stumble — and that sent billions to their death."

"Honeybees are living half as long as they were 50 years ago
The lifespan of bees raised in US laboratories is half what it was in the 1970s, suggesting there may be a genetic reason behind increasing rates of colony collapse"

They are an amazing and #beneficial #food source that can produce a high yield with a minimum input. And #colonycollapse is a HUGE #environmental issue. By working with #apiarists and setting up #colonies we can educate and help the bees while providing honey.

grocery shopping for #honey … three dollar bottle … five dollars … hmm … FORTY DOLLARS!
Any intel on this? Is this the best honey on Earth? Is it sustainably produced in amazing ways? I’ve never seen this before. Genuinely curious.
Anyway I bought a six dollar bottle of local honey.
