Waldemar,
The sentence was confusing. Here it is:
> Last year, honeybees -- millions of colonies of which are leased by
farmers to ensure pollination -- had to be imported from outside North
America for the first time in decades because of a shortage in the U.S.
* The part between the dashes is a separate thought. It might better be
stated thusly:
> Last year, honeybees had to be imported from outside North America for
the first time in decades because of a shortage in the U.S. Millions of
colonies are leased by farmers to ensure pollination.
