Rising temperatures reduce honey production time for bees.

September marks National Honey Month, a campaign promoting the appreciation of honey. However, climate change is significantly impacting honey production. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, honey bees in Georgia and South Carolina are facing challenges related to their health, behavior, and food sources due to climate change, which raises temperatures, increases sea levels, and exacerbates droughts and flooding. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration notes that these changes affect various systems, including agriculture and ecosystems.
