The situation is so bad, that beekeepers are now calling for some kind of government intervention, warning the flight of the bees could be catastrophic for crop growers.

Domestic bees are essential for pollinating some 90 varieties of vegetables and fruits, such as apples, avocados, and blueberries and cherries.

Well, this isn't that great of a tragedy. Perhaps in light of the guest worker program/amnesty that Bush and the Democrats are pushing, the disappearance of bees has finally opened up a job that Americans actually won't do: Crop Pollination Specialist.

Job Description: Walk around farmer's fields from sunup to sundown with a backpack full of Q-tips, pollinating plants. Pay: Minium Wage, no benefits, no raises. Vacation: winter. Sick leave: none.

Actually, I realize that I was mistaken on this. Clearly, given the trade policies in place today, we’ll merely stop growing our own food and import the rest of it from China...where this job will be performed by political prisoners with a gun to their heads, for free.
