Abstract:
Honeybees are in trouble nationwide. Over 90 percent of the feral bee colonies have been decimated, and the state's managed colonies have declined about 50 percent since the 1980s. Kemp examines some of the reasons for this. Pollination for crops is essential and farmers have to import colonies during the blooming season. Kemp discusses the benefits of backyard beekeeping.

Abstract:
Typically overshadowed by the butterfly, moths are widely underappreciated for their vital role in the food web and during the pollination process of crops and flowers. Contrary to bees who pollinate during daylight, moths assume the role of pollination at night. Of the moth family, the Sphinx (hawk moth) is known as the "most spectacular moth with over 1,450 species worldwide."

Abstract:
The state's wild honeybees have been all but wiped out. Trachea and varroa mites, which appeared in the 1990s, in addition to pesticide use, have devastated the wild bee and over 50,000 managed bee colonies. Such loses affect pollination, which in turn affects fruit and plant growth.
