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.
