Article from Texas:
 
Bee Shortage Decried - (College Station) -- Nothing's buzzing in the state's
beehives .. and that worries the Texas A-and-M Extension Service. The
legislature is being asked for an emergency appropriation of
one-point-four-MILLION dollars to replenish a drop in the state's hineybee
population. Officials say about 90-percent of the state's wild honey bees
left to pollinate crops.
 
Any comment from our Texan beekeepers on this ?
