The charts give information about honey-bee colonies and honey production in the US Summerise the information about honey-bee colonies and honey production by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant

The line graphs illustrate the number of honey-bee colonies in millions and the amount of honey produced in the US from 1970 and 2010.

Overall

,

it is clear that

the nests for bees and honey manufacturing declined gradually over

this

period except for the minor fluctuations in 1980 for bee houses and in 1990 for the produce. The bee-keeping was more popular earlier in 1970 when the number of nests was 4 million.It rose marginally by 0.2 million to reach its peak in the next ten years and

then

followed a steady downward trend to come down to less than half of its initial value of 1970.The maximum decrement was seen between 1990-2000 when it fell by 1 million.

On the other hand

, honey production followed a slightly different pattern.It started at its highest level of 130000 tonne.Over the next decade. there was a significant drop in its manufacturing by 20000 tonnes.

However

,

this

figure jumped in the next decade by ten thousand

in contrast

to the colonies which had declined during

this

period.Afterwards, the figures dropped drastically to reach a low of 70000 tonnes in 2010 which was almost half of its initial value in 1970.
