"We're getting closer and closer to the point where we don't have enough bees in this country to meet pollination demands" University of Maryland entomologist, Dennis vanEngelstorp said, who led the survey
"A lot of people from all across the state have lost their bees this year" she said. "It's scary."
"The forces impacting honey bee health are complex and USDA, our research partners, and key stakeholders will be engaged in addressing this challenge."
