Adopt A Hive

Honey bees are important to the U.S. agricultural economy. They help pollinate crops and contribute an estimated $15 billion each year. This work ensures we have a steady supply of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and even plants that feed livestock. Without honey bees, many foods—like apples, almonds, blueberries, and cucumbers—would become scarce, leading to higher prices and less availability. Bees don’t just help farms; they also support the growth of wild plants that provide food and shelter for other wildlife. This helps keep our natural ecosystems healthy.

By adopting a hive, you are directly helping these important pollinators. Your support means healthier bees, more stable crops, and better food supplies. It also helps protect the environment by keeping ecosystems balanced and promoting sustainable farming practices.

Honey bees are not just crucial to the U.S.—they help feed the world. They pollinate about 35% of the world’s food crops, making them essential to global food security. Without them, farmers would need to rely on artificial pollination, which is costly and not as effective. Supporting programs like Adopt A Hive helps keep these valuable insects healthy, ensuring a strong future for farming and nature worldwide.
