The cause of the declining bee population is still unknown: some think it is a disease among the worker bees. Experts say it's a disease that affects the navigational instincts in bees, so when the worker bees go out miles and miles for pollen, they never make it back to the hive, and they freeze in the field, eventually the queen dies because of starvation, when there are no bees to provide her with honey. And when the queen dies, the only reproducing bee dies. In short that's the end of that colony. Now to the point, the impact of the declining bee population. There are many honey lovers in the United States. But the decline in bees doesn't only affect honey lovers. Bees are used all over farms to pollinate fruits vegetables and nuts. The impact is surely going to have an affect on Americas honey industry and vegetable fruit and nut industry. The American economy is surely going to have a drop, high or small I don't know. But it is going to drop.
