Yes, shortage of bee colonies does exist. In the following article:
1996 Wenner, A.M. and W.W. Bushing. Varroa mite spread in the United
States. BEE CULTURE. 124:341-343 (June issue).
we included a graph, one modified from a government publication (authors
Hof and Willett). The U.S. now has about half the number of colonies it
did in 1950.
