Bees are the most important domesticated animal on the planet.
One third of our food supply depends on bee pollination of flowers.
Pollinators play a significant role in the production of over 150 food crops in North America ‚ including apples, alfalfa, almonds, blueberries, cranberries, kiwi fruit, melons, pears, plums, raspberries and squash. WIthout the work of honey bees, the quantity and quality of many crops would be reduced, and some would not yield at all. The increased yield and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honey bee pollination is valued at more than $14.6 billion per year.

It has been estimated that 80% of insect crop pollination is accomplished by honey bees. While other insects can pollinate plants, honey bees are premier pollinators because they are available throughout the growing season, they pollinate a wide range of crops and they can be concentrated whenever and wherever they are needed.
Science shows that people sleep better when they eat honey before bedtime.
