Projects: Honeybees

While a few crops, such as corn and wheat, are pollinated by the wind, bees help pollinate more than 90 commercially grown field crops, citrus and other fruit crops, vegetables and nut crops. Without honeybees crop yields would fall dramatically and some tangerines and pecans would simply cease to exist. Agronomists estimate Americans owe one in three bites of food to bees.
