摘要	Ecosystem services are essential to agricultural productivity, yet their economic value remains difficult to measure. This paper quantifies the value of pollination services provided by managed honey bees in U.S. agriculture. Using state-by-quarter bee colony census from 2015–2024 and county-level measures of crop reliance on pollination, we estimate how changes in bee abundance affect farm income. To address endogeneity, we exploit variation from interstate bee migration, using predicted inflows of colonies affected by ecological shocks—such as forage losses or adverse weather—in source states. The results show that a one–standard-deviation increase in bee colonies increases county farm income by 1.1 standard deviations, implying an aggregate annual value of roughly $15 billion.
