Bill T. just said "There are plenty of hyperventilated numbers, but nothing
of substance. 2% may even be high."

On Sunday night, on the PBS special, Dave Hackenberg said that CCD killed
"1/3 of the US bees from 2006/2007".   Dave also said:

1.  One of my typical hives travels 5,500 miles (by truck) from
March-October.
2.  In June 2007 "I put 2,600 hives on blueberries in Maine at $90 each".
In case any of you are having trouble with the math, that is $234,000, and
Maine is only one of Dave's many stops.
