Abstract: Since 2007, public concern has been voiced over honey bee health and Colony Collapse Disorder. In this article, we discuss the conclusions that can be drawn using the latest data on overwinter mortality and USDA counts of honey bee colonies, including the implications of changes in honey bee health status on the food supply.
