Why are honey bees and their health and prosperity so important for humankind? The main reason is this simple – the honey bee has the job of pollinating our crops and thus enabling their growth. Crop growth eventually translates to food production, harvest and ultimately, supply to the local store from where we source it for our consumption.

It is easy to see the direct connection between crop pollination by bees and food supply to humans. Don’t forget the bees’ secondary service – they also make honey –  the purest natural food item.
