I see lots of hives in the fields where I live in Northern Michigan. We grow cherries, apples, and many other. The beekeepers I knew take their bees to Florida in the winter to work with the oranges. Those are busy bees!

I live in the CBD of our city, and I haven't seen a honey bee for years. If bees become extinct, so will human beings

My dad should have been a beekeeper. He had a way with bees and they seemed to like him. I have seen him convince a bee to stay on his hand while he took it outside and didn't get stung. It was amazing.

Bees are used to pollinate fields of crops that have been sprayed with tobacco-based pesticide. That is why they are dying. Is it possible no one foresaw this?

When I was little during spring break I was at my grandparents ranch , I saw my uncle not too far from the house making a lot of smoke and surrounded by some wooden boxes ( I did not know those were beehives) I went to see what was going on and suddenly a lot of bees were all over my long hair stinging my head so much that when I remember I get goosebumps.

wesley, and they will chase you at 15 mph away from their hive. They hate loud noises and will attack you for using a chain saw.

chilipepa50, Bee hive collapse is mostly due to pesticide use, especially neonics, a class of chemicals that are deadly to pollinators & may be causing health issues in children, as well.

A breed of bees referred to as killer bees inhabit many of the Southern States. They are more easily aggravated and can be deadly to both people and animals. If you upset a killer bee nest, do not try to run away, but stand perfectly still. you may suffer a few stings, but the bees are looking for something that is moving.

my daughter's boyfriend makes mead with honey it's really good. also you can add any fruit to it. bees are very useful to us but I'm scared of them. it's ironic because I've never been stung..they have gotten close but never stung me.

Grew up in Almond Country (Northern California) and was around when the FBI busted a mafia-related bee theft ring. There’s a pretty interesting documentary about it. Bee theft is insanely profitable and unfortunately, still occurs.

From what I’ve read almond groves are killing honey bees. For some reason they get a disease and die.
