The honey bee population in Great Britain has suffered a 30% loss in recent years. A loss which has had huge ramifications as these little guys are responsible for pollinating over a third of the food us Brits throw down our gullets every day. So fewer bees in our fields means less food for us and less cash for the Kingdom. In fact, due to their vital role in the agricultural process, honey bees are estimated to be worth around £200million to the British economy.
