While CCD isn't likely to obliterate honeybees, it may wipe out enough
migratory beekeepers to precipitate a pollination crisis.

They're already thin on the ground -- a rare breed of truck drivers
who also happen to be applied entomologists, amateur botanists,
skilled nursemaids of cussed old machines, traveling salesmen, and
Job-like nurturers of finicky, stinging insects that, when they're not
mysteriously dying off, can suddenly swarm on you like something out
of Hitchcock.
