The USDA reported two-thirds of beekeepers claimed losses of hives, suggesting that the pollination industry is in trouble.
Despite their bad reputation, these sometimes pesky insects are essential for life as we know it on planet earth.
Bees play a vital role in our food chain by pollinating plants.
