Over the past year one-third of US honeybees have mysteriously disappeared. Though this crisis has not made headline news, the survival of up to 100 crop plants depends on the honeybee’s pollination. Join Professor May Berenbaum for a look at the “pollinator crisis,” the plight of the honeybee and how dependent it appears we are on them.
Professor Berenbaum will also share recent research that shows how honey is a potentially rich source of antioxidants. Among other things this suggests that if honey is incorporated into one’s diet, particularly in place of sugar, it may have important health-promoting values.
