==Pollinator decline==
{{main|Pollinator decline}}

With the decline of both wild and domestic pollinator populations, pollination management is becoming an increasingly important part of [[horticulture]]. Factors that cause the [[pollinator decline|loss of pollinators]] include [[pesticide misuse]], unprofitability of [[beekeeping]] for [[honey]], rapid transfer of pests and diseases to new areas of the globe, urban/suburban development, changing crop patterns, [[clearcutting|clearcut logging]] (particularly when mixed forests are replaced by [[monoculture]] pine), clearing of hedgerows and other wild areas, bad diet because of loss of floral biodiversity,<ref name="news.bbc.co.uk">{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8467746.stm|title = Plant loss 'leads to fewer bees'|date = 20 January 2010}}</ref> and a loss of nectar corridors for migratory pollinators. With the declining habitat and resources available to sustain bee populations, populations are declining.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/WOS:000527463000001 | title=Web of Science }}</ref>
