Farm leader urges more bee research

Calling bees the "unsung heroes" in production of almonds and other crops, a California farm leader urged Congress yesterday (Thursday) to commit more resources to the health of the nation's bee colonies.



Diseases and pests have whittled away at the bee population, which pollinates billions of dollars' worth of crops. California Farm Bureau vice president Paul Wenger told a House Agriculture Subcommittee that more research is needed to restore beehives to full health.
