We began the Beekeeping Club at IU to address the widespread decline in Honeybee populations known as Colony Collapse Disorder. Honeybees are essential to producing much of the world’s food, but they’re dying in masses largely due to harmful pesticides and minimal biodiversity used in commercial farms, climate change, and other factors. Saving the Honeybees will require systematic changes in the ways we produce, purchase, and dispose of our food.
