First, what is the baseline loss for commercial hives in a "typical" year, 
if there is anything approaching typical anymore?

Second, I must object to the use of the term "pour" in describing the 
additional amount of money being allocated for research in PA:

"On Tuesday, Pennsylvania's Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff announced 
that the state would pour an additional $20,400 into research at 
Pennsylvania State University looking for the causes of CCD. This raises 
emergency funds dedicated to investigating the disease to $86,000."

With all due respect to PA and those working to help out the beekeeping 
folks, the word should be "dribble", not "pour".
