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. -- Lloyd Spear Owner Ross Rounds, Inc.
