Hello, fellow bee enthusiasts!

I am hoping to compare how countries differ in their response to colony
losses, considering biological, political, social, and economic aspects.

Can anyone suggest a publication that compares the responses of several
countries (or even between US states)?

How quickly is bee-friendly legislation passed?
What's the data on colony losses over the past two decades?
How have honey yields changed over the years?
How much research is being conducted?
How powerful are the chemical (pesticide) lobbies, in comparison to the
government?
Are public education initiatives successful?

Thanks in advance!
Elaine
