The real loss with honey is that bees are dying from colony collapse
syndrome. Bees are needed to pollinate just about everything. It
could be a coincidence, but the planet is in a mass planetary
extinction of species. (Something like the sixth in its history.) A
planet-wide extinction could take a couple of centuries in human
years; in geological time it shows up as one instantaneous
event. This particular extinction may be triggered by humans, for
example what we're doing to the oceans.
