They buzz around, we fear their sting, but they work almost nonstop and their pollination efforts are a critical component to our food system. Honeybees or "Apis mellifera" are faced with health challenges that cause colony collapse and other issues that threaten their ability to pollinate, which in turn threatens our food supply. Will this trend continue, or are the efforts of the public and private sectors addressing this threat? What are those efforts and how are they working? One takes for granted just how much of the food on a plate is because of honeybees.
