Bee Shortage Stings Honey Supply

NORTHBROOK, Ill.A recent survey revealed that honey bee colony losses nationwide were approximately 29 percent from all causes from September 2008 to April 2009. This means that honey production may fall significantly and food manufacturers may turn to various natural and artificial honey replacers.

Bell Flavors & Fragrances has created a line of 10 natural and artificial honey replacers to ease the strain on honey supply and demand.
