New data reveals massive honey bee die-offs.
USDA reports 60% of commercial colonies lost in California. Mites are fighting back as they become more resistant to treatments, threatening pollinators.
That mass kill-off left bee keepers scrambling this spring.
New research out of Georgia shows just how valuable that pollinating system is to the state’s blueberry crop.
Blueberries were a half a billion dollar crop in Georgia back in 2023. Researchers at the University of Georgia collected more than 5,000 individual bees across eight commercial farms.
They found 72 species, marking the most detailed survey of its kind to date.
They also discovered wild bee activity goes beyond the blueberry bloom, making it important to offer blooming flowers throughout the season.
Rotational grazing can improve pasture use and soil health while helping control feed and drought-related risk.
