Bees contribute significantly to global economies through pollination services. In the United States alone, bees generate over $15 billion annually. The economic value of bees extends beyond pollination. Beekeeping and honey production provide livelihoods for millions worldwide. Bee-based industries, such as beeswax candle production and cosmetics, support local economies. The economic benefits of bee conservation are clear. By protecting bee populations, we ensure the long-term health of our food systems and economies.
