About the Coalition
The Honey Bee Health Coalition brings together beekeepers, growers, researchers, government agencies, agribusinesses, conservation groups, manufacturers, and consumer brands to improve the health of honey bees.

Our Mission
Our mission is to collaboratively implement solutions that will help to achieve a healthy population of honey bees and other pollinators in the context of productive agricultural systems and thriving ecosystems.

Importance of Honey Bees
Honey bees support billions of dollars in U.S. and Canadian agriculture through pollination services. But today, a major decline in honey bee health has put agriculture, healthy lifestyles, and worldwide food security at risk.

U.S. overwintering losses for managed honey bees from 2007 to 2011 ranged from approximately 28-33%, compared to a historical rate of 10-15%.*

This decline in bee health has been linked to a variety of factors, including those influenced by the activities associated with both beekeeping and crop production.
