The health of honey bees is under increasing pressure on a global scale.
The impact of losing the free pollination services provided by feral honey bees will be farmers paying beekeepers to bring bees in to pollinate their crops, resulting in price hikes in everything from cucumbers and oranges, to cashews and onions.
Honey Bees Get Backpacks To Save Their Species, Canberra, Australia - 26 Aug 2015
FULL BODY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/qvtp
A research organisation in Australia is going to attach tiny "backpack" sensors to honey bees with an aim to prevent the further decline of bee populations.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), based outside of Australia's capital Canberra, say that bees across the world are in danger partly due to Colony Collapse Disorder and the Varroa Mite.
Without bees foods such as apples, berries, almonds and coffee would not exist.

HOO ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
She may only have limited vision but Lucy the owl's disability hasn't stopped her from finding the perfect perch in life.
The five-year-old Western Screech Owl can only see a short distance following an attack when she was just a fledgling.
The tiny bird, who stands just six inches high and weighs just over eight ounces, was discovered under her nest site in Santa Barbara, California.
Both her eyes had been punctured by a predator, possibly a small hawk or a corvid.
Unable to survive in the wild, Lucy is now an invaluable 'staff' member at the Ojai Raptor Center in California where she helps to raise other orphaned youngsters.
The small owl, who has a 12-inch wingspan, has only limited vision.
Kim Stroud, director of the Ojai Raptor Center, comments: "She can see maybe 10 or 15 feet but we don't think she can identify objects. She wouldn't survive in the wild."
However, despite her size and disability Lucy could live for a further 15 years.
Kim, 46, both founded and runs the Ojai Raptor Center, a non-profit rescue and rehabilitation centre for injured birds in Ventura County, an area of Southern California that boasts millions of acres of national parks.
And little Lucy has proven to be a valuable resource at the centre.
"She's a wonderful mother," says Kim, 46. "She lays eggs every year, infertile of course, but whenever screech owl eggs are brought in from the wild we have switched them. The same with foundling baby screeches. Lucy has raised 15 of them so far".
Despite, or maybe because of, her excellent maternal instincts the tiny predator can be fierce and protective too.
