LOSS OF OVER 1.1 MILLION HONEY BEE COLONIES CREATES CONCERN FOR AGRICULTURAL POLLENATION
Commercial beekeepers across the U.S. reported an average 62 percent loss between June 2024 and February 2025. This may impact pollination for almonds, fruits, vegetables and other pollination-dependent crops.
Concern over reports of heavy losses from beekeepers across the country triggered a multi-organizational working group. This included Project Apis m., the American Beekeeping Federation and the American Honey Producers Association.
Data was collected by Project Apis m. through a survey of 702 beekeepers that account for over 1.835 million colonies. This represents 68% of the nation’s bees.
