From purchasing raw materials for KIND Fruit + Nut bars, we get a scary first-hand lesson in the honey crisis.
Bees are disappearing across America. Americans are importing them from all over the world - buying Queen Bees from Australia and other places, trying to repopulate their honey-producing bee farms.

Bees perform essential pollination functions across many different flowers and fruits.
Nobody really knows what is causing it. Is it climate change? Is it a biological mishap? What is it?
Planet earth is frailer than we realize. This is a scary, under-reported plague that could really wreak havoc on our world.
It is certainly causing a shortage of honey - and a rise in prices. But this could be just the beginning.
