What happens if US loses California food production?
Where do bees go to die?
CDFA says bees are essential to food supplies in California and around the world. The state’s almond industry requires more than 1.6 million colonies of bees for pollination.
More than 1.2 million bee colonies, or approximately 2,600 truckloads of bee hives, come from out of state for pollination.
In addition to almonds, bees pollinate roughly one-third of California's crops, including cherries, broccoli, onions, and others.
