"When the honeybees started dying en masse, the alarm bells went off. Bees are critical to food production. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), more than a quarter of America’s diet relies on pollination by honeybees.

No bees, no food. Or at least, no apples, cherries, onions, celery, cabbage, and a long listof others, including almonds and blueberries which, according to the American Beekeeping Federation, are 90-percent dependent on bees for pollination."
