Question

In class you listened to a story related to honey bees, and how changes in one geographic landscape have implications to our food system. Which of the following statements best summarizes that story?

Question options:

Bees can no longer spend their summers in California because there are too many almond trees now.

Bees can no longer spend their summers in the Dakotas because CCD has become such a large problem in that state.

Urban sprawl in the Midwest, where the bees spend their summers, is taking over where they forage. Now bees need to be located in the Southern U.S. all summer long, and they can't pollinate corn, which is leading to higher corn prices.

Higher corn prices means that farmers are putting more land into corn. Land the government used to pay them to keep fallow. With that land going into corn, there is less summer forage for bees in place like North Dakota, which means we have to import bees for almonds, and that leads to higher almond crop prices.
