Texas has lost almost two-thirds of its bee colonies since June

A recent surge in bee losses is now impacting Texas beekeepers and may ultimately impact the price to produce.

Since June, commercial beekeepers in Texas have lost nearly two-thirds of their bee colonies.

Nationwide, those financial losses have totaled $635 million. Many now worry it will have a trickle-down effect on fruits and vegetables like watermelons and berries.

While no clear cause for the losses has been pinpointed, mites, pathogens, pesticides, and poor nutrition among bees would all play a role.
