Honeybees are not only relevant to agriculture as pollinators, but also play a vital role in the pollination of agricultural areas as well as natural and near-natural landscapes. Performance describes the economic efficiency of honeybee colonies and is determined from colony weight development and honey yield. The total weight of the colonies is closely related to honey yield. Here, the honey yield is primarily a factor influencing beekeeping profitability. However, the economic benefits of honeybee pollination far outweigh those of honey production.
