Abstract
Honey bee pollinating activities are worth 143 times more than the value of honey and beeswax they produce (18.9 billion vs. 140 million). Fruits and nuts, seeds and fiber, commodities from seeds requiring bee pollination and a portion of com· modities indirectly dependent on bee pollination are listed with their values, obtained from the USDA(1981).Keywords
