A new study by Penn State researchers has uncovered clues in the mystery of the missing honey and why production rates by bees have dropped.
Is society too successful with insect control? Maybe we need to think about how we can provide habitat for bees, birds, and predatory bugs.
Growing Matters kicked off its collaborative annual BeSure! stewardship awareness campaign promoting stewardship practices using neonicotinoid products.
The U.S. honey bee population has low genetic diversity, and this could have a negative impact on future crop pollination and beekeeping sustainability in the country.
For decades now we have been watching our pollinator population decline due to a number of factors, including the changing climate, predators, habitat obstruction, and pest control on crops, gardens, and lawns.
The GROWMARK System would like to help youth organizations sustain and increase honey bee populations with its Pollinator Garden Program.
Honeybees are a well-known source of pollination, but there are many other insects and small animals that the agricultural industry also relies on.
Why are pollinators important to those of us involved with growing food, especially in the fall when pollinator-friendly habitats are more scarce?
Some people argue that an increase in insecticide use (both organic and synthetic) and a much-publicized Colony Collapse Disorder issue have caused honey bees to become endangered. There are numerous organizations dedicated to “saving the bees,” and many of them have targeted farmers as major culprits in the demise of the honey bee population. On […]
Youth organizations are asked to locate a public place and secure permission to plant a pollinator garden prior to filling out an application.
