Bees, both commercially managed honey bees and wild bees, play an
important role in global food production. In the United States
alone, the value of insect pollination to U.S. agricultural
production is estimated at $16 billion annually, of which about
three-fourths is attributable to honey bees. Worldwide, the
contribution of bees and other insects to global crop production
for human food is valued at about $190 billion. Given the
importance of honey bees and other bee species to food production,
many have expressed concern about whether a pollinator crisis has
been occurring in recent decades. Over the past few decades there
has been heightened concern about the plight of honey bees as well
as other bee and pollinator species. This book provides a
background on bee health. It also discusses the role of pesticides
in bee health and provides guidance to risk assessors for
evaluating the potential risk of pesticides to bees, particularly
honey bees.
