It is clear that, a proportion of honey-bee colonies and amount of honey production were fallen over a 40-year period. In 1970, there were 4 millions bee colonies in America and increased to approximately 4, 2 millions before decreasing to only 1. 8 millions in the next 30 years.
During the same period, the amount of honey production dropped. In 1970, American bees produced 130, 000 tonnes of honey. After 10 years period, it went down from 130, 000 tonnes to 110, 000 tonnes. Then, rose to 120, 000 tonnes before declined significantly to just 70, 000 tonnes in 2010.
Overall, the chart show that both the number of colonies and the amount of honey which bees make have fallen during the 40-year period.
