Americans owe one in every three bites of food to honeybees. That’s according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Arizona, which released a November report on the insect’s health.
It’s no secret that people who eat healthier diets have healthier bodies. Turns out, the same goes for honeybees.
A team of scientists in Tucson have found a strong link between honeybee health and the bacteria in their gut from their diet.
The study showed not only better outcomes from eating better foods, but also that supplements showed a positive reaction - both are good news for scientists who are looking for ways to preserve the bee population.
Scientists in the study say honeybees pollinate over one-hundred flowering crops.
