> The world needs more bee-keepers.

I hear that's a risky business to be in these days. Saw an ABC
item a couple of months ago about pesticides, mites and wild
bees making a big dent in commercial bee numbers. The guys
who rent bees to farmers and orchardists are really struggling.
Hives are dying off in huge numbers

Perversely, getting it back on topic, the price of produce will
probably go up so much, because of the rising cost of pollination,
it may impact on the number of plastic bags needed
