Beekeepers use a smoker as they tend to beehives at honey producer La Ruche des Puys in Saint Ours, Auvergne, on August 20, 2024. Beekeepers across France have taken stock of a terrible year, with a cold, rainy spring that left bees to starve to death, toppling honey production by 80 percent. When it rains, bees don't fly, don't go out, so they eat their honey reserves. The French consume an average of 45,000 tonnes of honey per year, of which 20,000 tonnes are produced on average in the country. (Photo by Emmanuel DUNAND / AFP)
