I wouldn't have used such alarmist words.  The market for bees is self
regulating.  A shortage of bees could cause a temporary setback for the
almond industy, but a real disaster for beekeepers would be a glut of bees
that would drive the pollination price to the floor.  An over supply of
bees would put many of us out of business.
