Abstract
Honey bees frequently are in danger of being killed when crops are treated with pesticides. Honey bees produce honey and beeswax valued at $55 million annually; but even more significant, the annual value of crops that require bee pollination exceeds $1 billion. For this reason, farmers and beekeepers should cooperate in protecting the bees from pesticides. Observance of precautions recommended in this publication can significantly reduce bee losses from pesticide poisoning.
