New Clue Found to Disappearing Honey Bees
August 5, 2009
The New York Times Science blog posted this update on the widespread threat to honeybee populations.
Honeybees give us much more than their nectar, they are also a vital pollinator for dozens of different crops. A threat to the honeybee population is a threat to delicious and nutritious produce like pears, raspberries, and strawberries. The rapid decline in the honeybee population has many researchers, some supported by Nestlé, searching for an explanation for what has been dubbed ‘colony collapse disorder.’
The plants and animals of the environment are an important part of Nestlé’s supply chain, and a major consideration in all our sustainability practices.
