One well-worn, and probably accurate, estimate says that one-third of the human diet can be traced directly, or indirectly, to bee pollination. This estimate is probably more accurate for human diets in developed countries.

About 130 agricultural plants in the United States are pollinated by bees, and the annual value of honey bee pollination to U.S. agriculture is estimated at over $9 billion.

The annual benefit of honey bee pollination in Canada is estimated at $443 million, and over 47,000 colony rentals take place every year. Every dollar spent on colony rental fees in Québec returns $41 for blueberries and $192 for apples.

Honey bee rental for commercial pollination is a viable component of the beekeeping industries. Commercial beekeepers in this region earned more than 60 percent of their annual gross revenues from colony rentals in 1998 and 72 percent in 1995. Demand exceeded supply during much of the 1990s and this led to favorable market conditions for beekeepers. The average rental price per colony increased from $19.25 in 1992 to $31.55 in 1996. During the same period, the average annual revenue from colony rentals increased a remarkable 246 percent from $37,993 in 1992 to $131,625 in 1996.
