  • 'Like sending bees to war': the deadly truth behind your almond milk obsession. Bees are essential to the functioning of America’s titanic almond industry – and billions are dying in the process.

    'Like sending bees to war': the deadly truth behind your almond milk obsession. Bees are essential to the functioning of America’s titanic almond industry – and billions are dying in the process.
    'Like sending bees to war': the deadly truth behind your almond milk obsession. Bees are essential to the functioning of America’s titanic almond industry – and billions are dying in the process. A recent survey of commercial beekeepers showed that 50 billion bees – more than seven times the world’s human population – were wiped out in a few months during winter 2018-19. This is more than one-third of commercial US bee colonies, the highest number since the annual survey started in the mid-2000s.

    Beekeepers attributed the high mortality rate to pesticide exposure, diseases from parasites and habitat loss. However, environmentalists and organic beekeepers maintain that the real culprit is something more systemic: America’s reliance on industrial agriculture methods, especially those used by the almond industry, which demands a large-scale mechanization of one of nature’s most delicate natural processes. Pictured: Beekeeper Adam Arp works their hives outside Rye, Arizona on May 8, 2019.

    'Like sending bees to war': the deadly truth behind your almond milk obsession. Bees are essential to the functioning of America’s titanic almond industry – and billions are dying in the process. A recent survey of commercial beekeepers showed that 50 billion bees – more than seven times the world’s human population – were wiped out in a few months during winter 2018-19. This is more than one-third of commercial US bee colonies, the highest number since the annual survey started in the mid-2000s.

    Beekeepers attributed the high mortality rate to pesticide exposure, diseases from parasites and habitat loss. However, environmentalists and organic beekeepers maintain that the real culprit is something more systemic: America’s reliance on industrial agriculture methods, especially those used by the almond industry, which demands a large-scale mechanization of one of nature’s most delicate natural processes.

    URBAN BEEKEEPING

    A beehive has been launched for the URBAN beekeeper.

    British company Omlet, with support from Natural England, are marketing their funky design to make it easy for anyone - from amateurs to seasoned apiarists - to help bees find a home in city gardens.

    The strikingly designed hive - called the 'Beehaus' - has been developed with the help of leading beekeepers to be a 21st century home for bees and has urban spaces very much in mind.

    Beehaus has twice the room of a traditional hive (measuring about 1m wide and 0.5m high) and with plenty of space for the colony to grow, the likelihood of the bees swarming is greatly reduced.

    A company spokesman says: "Bees will travel up to 3 miles to collect nectar, so even the most unpromising gardens can still support viable colonies and produce their own honey.

    "With proper care and access to local sources of nectar it's quite possible to collect over 20kg of honey from a Beehaus hive in a good year."

    Omlet co-founder James Tuthill said "Bees provide a wonderful service pollinating plants and providing us with honey. The Beehaus is a brilliant new way to keep bees in a garden or even on a rooftop.

    "It's new design simplifies the principles of beekeeping so that anyone can enjoy this fascinating hobby. With the help of urban gardeners, bees can have access to a wonderfully diverse source of plants, resulting in fantastic flavoursome honey."

    The first GBP 465 Beehaus will be installed on Natural England's office roof in Victoria, London, overlooking Westminster Cathedral.

    Dr Tom Tew, Chief Scientist for Natural England, said: "Bees provide us with honey but also play a vital role in pollinating plants - from farmland crops to trees, flowers and garden vegetables - bringing critical benefits to people and to the natural environmen...
