BELTSVILLE, Maryland (AP) -- Unless someone or something stops it

soon, the mysterious killer that is wiping out many of America's

honeybees could have a devastating effect on the country's dinner

plate, perhaps even reducing its people to a glorified bread-and-

water diet.

 

Honeybees do not just make honey; they pollinate more than 90 of the

tastiest flowering crops the country has.

 

Among them: apples, nuts, avocados, soybeans, asparagus, broccoli,

celery, squash and cucumbers. And lots of the really sweet and tart

stuff, too, including citrus fruit, peaches, kiwi, cherries,

blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, cantaloupe and other melons.

 

In fact, about one-third of the human diet comes from insect-

pollinated plants, and the honeybee is responsible for 80 percent of

that pollination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
