( Gerton , NC ) It is estimated that thirty-three percent of
everything that reaches the American table is pollinated by the honeybee. In North Carolina this equates to $80 million of the state’s economy.

In contrast to commercial operations, which use direct chemical fumigation, organic bee colonies are not experiencing major declines.
