First, the not-so-sweet news: the decline of powerhouse pollinators like bees leads to increased costs and reduced yields for farmers. That’s because up to 80% of US crops are dependent on honey bee pollination for reproduction. As more land is converted to industrial agriculture, wild bees lose their homes and are sickened by pesticides that are sprayed on crops and reach bees unintentionally.
The spoonful of propolis in your smoothie or morning oatmeal has a serious impact. Made by bees pollinating plants in upstate NY, your choice of propolis helps nourish the local ecosystem. When bees contribute to the pollination of fruits and veggies, yields of these plants are estimated to grow by 70%. More pollinators means more produce. Enjoy your propolis knowing it has long lasting impacts on the fields and farmers around you.
