The Silence of the Bees

[cmacq]

Devils and Details

First, the numbers of bees dead or alive are being counted by whom? Second, are only domesticated bees being counted dead and alive? Third, are only certain types of domesticated bees being counted dead or alive? Forth, how have the numbers and ratio of both domesticated and non-domesticated bees changed in the last 20 years; year by year? Fifth, how can one count the numbers of non-domesticated bees?

On the face of it, for now, this looks very much like, yet another of what is known in the business as, 'A Fund Raiser.'
