"A few examples of the foods
that would no longer be available to us if bees ceased pollinating our
agricultural goods are: broccoli, asparagus, cantaloupes, cucumbers,
pumpkins, blueberries, watermelons, almonds, apples, cranberries, and
cherries.
Honey is a food product created by bees and is not to be forgotten.
Made by bees regurgitating nectar and passing it back and forth in
their mouths to one another before depositing and sealing it in a
honeycomb, its intended use is for the bees’ winter food stores. Humans
are quite fond of this amber liquid as well – the 2013 honey crop was valued at $317.1 million."
A wonderful resource. Please, read here for more.
