United States bee colonies in crisis
"WABASH COUNTY — Bee population loss is at an extreme level across the United States.
'Around 1.5, 1.4 million colonies have died,' said Krispn Given from Purdue University. 'That's half the population in the country.'
Given is the senior apiculture specialist at Purdue. His research aims to help beekeepers and stop this recent loss of bees.
Bee loss is cyclical, but Given hasn't seen loss to this level before 2025."
