Walter said: Family farms vanish, big outfits fill the gaps, the crops get
raised (and more efficiently). Don't sweat it. If they're needed, the bees
will be there.
I just returned from the North Dakota Beekeepers convention. I can't
remember the exact figures, but in the last decade or so, the numbers of
beekeepers have about halved, but the total number of colonies has doubled!
