Pollination

Honey bees are responsible for about one-third of the foods we eat and more than 90 different crops, including foods like fruits, nuts, vegetables and crop seeds. Using honey or purchasing products with honey helps beekeepers support bees that pollinate our food supply.
 
The impact honey bees have on our food system cannot be understated. Without honey bees we would no longer have widespread availability of the following foods and ingredients.
