Since 2006, winter losses of managed honey bee colonies in the United States
have averaged 29 percent, approximately double the 15 percent historical
rate. These elevated losses have raised concerns that agricultural and food
supply chains will suffer disruptions as pollination services become
costlier and less available. Among pollinated crops, almonds and plums have
had the largest increases in pollination service fees, rising about 2.5 and
2.4 times, respectively, in real (inflation-adjusted) terms since the early
1990s, with the largest portion of the increase occurring between 2004 and
2006.

 

California almond production required over 75 percent of honey producing
colonies in the United States in 2016 for its pollination needs. The
magnitude of demand relative to the national supply of managed honey bee
colonies has created a complex interaction between honey bee colony health
and almond production. During this webinar, speakers will discuss the
demand, costs and logistical issues associated with pollination of crops in
the United States.
