I don't ever recall seeing an article about bees in
The Economist before.

It is a simple overview of the situation, and can
be read here:

Things are getting screwy... first Bee Culture runs an article on
world trade and protectionsim by Gary Shilling, and now the
Economist runs an article about obscure beekeeping problems.
