Bees are essential for Florida's economy, jobs, and natural systems, but they are becoming less friendly to managed honeybees and native bees due to overdevelopment, damaging weather, and pests. This has led to a decrease in bee production, which is beneficial to agriculture and the agriculture industry. The loss of these bees could significantly impact Florida's struggling farming industry. Experts suggest that fewer bees, managed or native, contribute to less juicy fruit and vegetables and less tax for the farming industry due to declining natural land. A 2025 study identified the largest threat to bees, with over 30% of the species at high risk of extinction.
