Honey bees were struggling to pollinate plants and make honey this year because spring was rainy and not conducive to leaving the hive to forage. The dry summer has hindered nectar production, which bees use to make honey. To leave honey bee colonies with enough honey for energy, beekeepers were not harvesting as much honey. It’s too early to know how the year’s total honey yield might be affected. Maine Public (Bangor, Maine), Sep 11, 2025
